Hi James,

I was posting the slavery link on that site but there is so much more at the Maryland Archives site!

They provide census records, wills etc. and a fantastic visual way to send for old death records.

On the homepage click Reference and Research and find lots of gems for Maryland.

Columbo, I know you'll find the clues to your ancestor.
