I moved to DC as a child in 1962 and lived there until 2002. My direct line lived in Maryland, as far as I can find, since the 1700's, but I can't get specific dates for many of them. Many moved to DC and are buried there. My primary research is in DC and MD, but I've found some in PA, VA and down south. My favorite place for researching was the MLK Library. When I wasn't working for a period I spent weeks in there, and when I moved out of state I would visit and do research there. My favorite places to visit are Congressional Cemetery, Mt. Olivet Cemetery, Arlington National, and Cedar Hill Cemetery in Suitland, MD. If I wasn't five hours away from DC, I'd visit more often and do research for people. Bill Boswell
