Maryland Sources


Here are some of the sources I've used the most for Maryland lately. I'm not currently subscribing to the US version of Ancestry right now. I'm currently using the Canadian version. Ancestry does have a number of books relating to Maryland genealogy. You can search for names without subscribing. If you live near Los Angeles the Central Library has many Maryland genealogy books.Some of Amazon's Maryland genealogy books can be searched for names before you buy.

The microfilms being digitized for Maryland are really outstanding sources of information. Some of the digitized microfilms are only available to search at a Family History Center or Library. Others are viewable anywhere. Most of the probate records aren't locked, and can be viewed anywhere. 

The Maryland Archives website is outstanding too. Unfortunately not everything is thoroughly indexed. The volumes of information would take years to read through. If you live in Maryland there are better indexes in person.
