Dear Peggy, Thank you for your reply. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you and thank you. Yes, in fact, Hannah Duffey was the wife of my Edward Rogers #2. But, I did not have the date. Thank you. Another kind soul also sent me the other information you provided. Very interesting. I will add it to my Rogers file.

No. The 1870 census index that comes with the Beginner's Edition of Version 8 of Generations only covers the Wards of Baltimore City. Even if people lived in a Baltimore County District outside the city, they will not be found in this index. If you just want an index, there are better ones, but it is useful for the city. They package this as a "Historic Profile Compendium" of the city. The set includes similar information for the following eight other cities: Philadelphia, New York City, Brooklyn, Chicago, St. Louis, Richmond, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh.

Hi I posted a message a few days ago about death certificates from 1894 and 1901 listing the undertaker's address as 115 E. West Street. I couldn't read the actual name of the undertaker. I found an ad in the Baltimore Sun from 1945 listing the address of 121 E. West Street belonging to a funeral home (or an undertaker) called Bernard Harle. I printed a current map of Baltimore and found that E. West Street is close to Federal Hill Park and Riverside Park off of I-395. Both of my ancestors whose funerals were conducted by this business lived on Gittings Street, which is very near E. West Street. Does anyone have any ideas about where these records could be located? Is there another funeral home near that address now? Thank you! Meriah

Bridgett, Try the MD State Archives website : <A HREF="http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/">Maryland Archives</A> http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/ Mary Ellen

A number of people have asked about where to find maps of old Baltimore. The following web site has maps of Baltimore in 1848 and 1905. It also has maps of many other cities. http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historic_us_cities.html If the link above does not work, "us" above has an underscore ( _ ) before and after it. Also, most, if not all, of the Baltimore City Directories had a map of the city in the front. These are on microfilm at most of the genealogical research places in the Maryland-DC area, and can be ordered from the LDS Family History Centers anywhere. The Maryland Historical Society also has some books with detailed maps of all of Baltimore County (inc. the city) in the 1800's. But the best map, which I've used the most often, is a digital map of 1876 Baltimore, which came with the Beginner's Edition only of Version 8.0 of Sierra's Generations Family Tree software. I believe it is a copy of the map from the City Directory. The best thing about it is that it has an index of all the city streets, making it easy to find them. It is a fairly large file (2.6 MB). For some reason, Sierra packaged an 1870 Census Index and maps for eight major cities in the Beginner's Edition only (18 CD's) of their latest upgrade. It is a great resource, but is not in their more expensive editions with more CD's. I know it was still available in our local Target stores about a month ago, I think for about $40. (I don't work for Sierra or Target.) Most of these maps show Ward and Precinct locations, but exact boundaries are often hard to discern in black and white. Finding Addresses on the map I only recently learned (from someone on this list) that all of the addresses in Baltimore were renumbered around 1887. This is very important if you try to find what block they lived in, or to locate them in a census using their address. If you have an address from after 1887, it was probably the same place it is now. If you have a house number from before then, its location was different from where that house number is now. The 1887 Baltimore City Directory listed both new and old addresses for everyone in the Directory. It also has a section in the front that shows, for each street, where each new and old address was in relation to the cross streets. >From this, you can determine exactly which block your ancestor lived in. This is a great resource. I wasted many hours before I learned about it. I hope this helps everyone find your ancestors' locations in Baltimore.

Hi All! I see on the Maryland State USGenWeb page some information regarding vital records but no address in which to write to in order to obtain a copy. My grandparents were married in Maryland (I have no idea what county) in 1946 and I would like to get a copy of their Marriage License/Certificate. Does anyone have an address or anything for this? Thanks in advance! Bridgett Nealis New Philadelphia, OH [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Lanham, Samples, Hershberger, Vaughn, Ferrell, Kelley, etc…

I would appreciate any information that anyone could give me concerning the naturalization process. As I understand the process, and immigrant must take an oath, which is part of an "Intention to become a citizen", then, several years later, the person appeared before a judge and became a naturalized citizen. In addition to the "Intention to become a citizen" and the "naturalization document", was there any other document or application that the immigrant had to prepare and file? I am trying to learn where in Ireland my immigrant Grahams had lived. Any comments, information and/or suggestions would be appreciated. Jerry Gary Walnut Creek, CA

Silas CHAPMAN died in 1723, Somerset Co, MD. In his Will, he names sons: Edward, Silas, John, Humphrey, Pearce, Joseph, Benjamin and wife, Mary. I have not been able to locate anything further on this family (except perhaps Edward who may have died in 1730.) Did any of these Chapman sons migrate elsewhere? Am especially interested in Silas Chapman, Jr. Thanks. Marsha IL

I would like to get in touch with anyone interest in the MUELLER family that lived in Baltimore during the mid and/or late 1800s.

Friends One of the saving graces of researching Maryland is the Maryland Archives on line. I could spend years just sifting through the material in there and still find leads! From ..."Archives of Maryland, Vol. 41; Provincial Court Proceedings, 1658" < http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/00 0041/html/am41--98.html> ... is a typical URL - I found a court case of ... BOLIN v ANDERTON; ANDERTON v BOLIN p.98, p130, p156-7, p166-7 In summary it looks like Bowling and John Anderton had a trading agreement that when John went back to England in June 1657 "in Company wth the pent GouT" (the present government?) he would buy £20 worth of goods from the £40 that Bowling gave him, keeping £20 as commission. Bowling appears to have been the Overseer for John and when he he was away in England went to Virginia during a sickness, leaving the crop of Corn & Tobacco to ruin. Although the case seems to have gone against John, Bowling did not get his full £40 either. The operative fact for me here was that John Anderton was part of a Government mission to England. In support of which I found ... < http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/megafile/msa/speccol/sc2900/sc2908/000001/00 0041/html/am41--91.html> p91; dated 24 Nov 1657 When "Samuel Tilghman of Rachcliffe in the County of Middesex [sic] Mariner" made a Power of Attorney, it was "Signed Sealed & Deliuered in the [presence] of Josias ffendell; John Anderton. ffrom Grauesend the 24th of Nouembr 1657" I didn't realise what I had found until I started checking deeper into the historical background and found that between 1657-1660 Josias Fendall was governor of Maryland! Could anyone tell me more about this episode in your state history or point me to an online resource? Needless to say, books on Maryland State History are pretty thin on the ground in Wollondilly Shire, NSW! Thank you in advance Alan Anderton, Bargo NSW Australia
