I have just received a letter in response to my request for birth/death information, that the MD State Archives is "temporarily suspending research related to birth and death records", due to "diminishing staff resources over the past few years and budget shortfalls". However, the letter gives the following schedule for on-line data: County Death Record Indexes, 1898-1944 - October 2003 Baltimore City Death Record Indexes, 1875-1942 - December 2003 Baltimore City Death Record Indexes, 1942-1972 - March 2004 County Death Record Indexes, 1951-1968 - September 2004 For county death records after 1968, and for Baltimore City death records after 1972 - by 2005 Birth record indexes - after 2005 Hope this is of interest to all.
