I have two books concerning the history of the establishment of churches in Maryland. 1.) THOSE INCREDIBLE METHODISTS: A history of the Baltimore Conference of the United Methodist Church, Edited by Gordon Baker, 1972. 2.) CENTENNIAL HISTORY OF THE EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN SYNOD OF MARYLAND 1820-1920: by Rev. Abdel Wentz, Ph. D., Published 1920. Both books contain many names of church members, especially Church clerical and prominent laypersons. The 2nd book contains many pictures of churches and persons which I can scan and send if relevant. I would be glad to do look-ups if anyone thinks they may have ancestors associated with these churches. JD Rodgers

Ten dollars is correct. I sent for five death certificates last August for and still haven't received any. Two weeks ago I wrote them a letter and their sole response was to send me another form. The lower $6 is for a copy of your own birth certificate.

I was looking on the internet for information about requesting copies of birth or death certificates. Am I to understand that for genealogy requests you have to send a request to the Maryland Archives and pay $10 instead of requesting through the state office and paying $6? Has anyone requested documents that can answer my questions? I am wondering if I have the exact date, etc, and am related, can I put my request to the State office?
