I'm new to this list and I am attempting to trace the arrival of a Michael GRIGG to either Maryland or Virginia around 1660s. The name Michael is not common in England at this time and almost all references found in the seventeenth century are linked to one family from London and Bedforshire. I have noticed in various lists that a Michael GRIGG did travel to Maryland, at what date I'm not sure. There is a reference to him in a set of CDs, "Colonial Families of Maryland", CDs 184 and 189. From Australia it is almost impossible to access these, could I ask someone who may have ready access to them to check out these references and advise when Michael is recorded as going to Maryland and any other information which might be available.

Maybe the Maryland Archives in Annapolis would have a picture. Take care, Kathy

We know that Richard was a member of the General Assembly of Maryland...So shouldn't there be a picture somewhere??? We have alot of information on this family up to present although there are some holes here and there...so we are still plugging away. Vicki (Hall) Davis

Question. When a message comes in to the web, what happens to it? Is it automatically posted or does someone have to process it? I often find messages that are of interest to me personally, but not strictly genealogical information, so I don't know whether it is cricket to inquire and I don't know whether my question is causing someone more work.

I have a question about appointing guardians for children in the 1700s when the father died but left a widow. There are a couple cases in my Kent and Queen Anne's families in the 1700's where, with the father already dead, the mother, in her will, designated a guardian for the children. This makes sense since both parents had died. However, in all cases where the father died leaving a widow, no provisions were made in any of these wills for a guardian. My genealogy friends in England tell me that, in England at least, it was customary to name a guardian in this case (that is, even when the mother was still living). Was this true in Maryland at the time? If so, was the guardian usually named in the will or was there a separate judicial process for naming a guardian? If it was not customary to name a guardian when the mother was still living, what rights or powers did she have over properties and monies specifically left to her minor son? I should point out that all of these cases involved bequeaths to minor sons of the fine houses, very large pieces of properties, and substantial amounts of currency. Any information about the relevant customs or laws at the time will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Bruce Bruce L.

Did you check the Baltimore Sun (morning paper) and the Evening Sun that came out later in the day? There was a Baltimore Gazette but I don't think it was still being published and the Afro-American.

Thank you for the response, but I think I said in my original note the News American and The Baltimore Sun had already been checked. Do you know if there were any other newspaers besides these two? Thank you for your help.

I am looking for an article from a newspaper from 1919. I know this article was published as I have seen it. I think my brother has the original, but he is in the process of moving and cannot find it. I thoguth it came from either the Baltimore Sun or the News American, but I wrote to Enoch Pratt Library--Ask a Librarian, and they searched and could only find the obituary for the person tis article was written about. Does anyone know if there were other newspapers in Baltimore at teh time. I know this person died in Baltimore. Any help would be appreciated. Monica Mullikin
