Family Archives CD #195 This GPC/Broderbund CD combines six of the most authoritative books ever
published on the subject of Maryland genealogy: Maryland Marriages, 1634-1820
(3 volumes) and Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759, by Robert Barnes,
as well as the two-volume Maryland Genealogies from the Maryland Historical
Magazine. The six volumes combined refer to 125,000 individuals resident in
Maryland, most of whom are identified in the context of family relationships.
The three-volume Maryland Marriages, 1634-1820 is a compilation of all
marriages recorded in church records and other documents on deposit at the Hall
of Records in Annapolis and the Maryland Historical Society in Baltimore. In
general, the marriage records were extracted from parish registers, ministers’
returns of licenses, and printed sources, including the Maryland Historical
Magazine and the Archives of Maryland. Also included are marriages recorded
in the registers of certain individual ministers that are not housed in either
of the above repositories. Besides giving the names of the bride and groom and
the date of the marriage, entries also note places of origin, parentage, and
previous marital status.
Baltimore County Families, 1659-1759 provides comprehensive
genealogical data on the hundreds of families and thousands of individuals who
settled in the county during the first hundred years of its existence. Parish
registers, administration bonds, wills, and inventories were used as the nucleus
for each family group, while court records and deeds were combed for
supplementary data. In general, family histories commence with the Baltimore
County progenitor and continue for about three generations.
Maryland Genealogies is composed of articles that originally appeared
in the Maryland Historical Magazine, the well-known journal of the
Maryland Historical Society. The first volume of the Magazine contained
accounts of the Brooke and Tilghman families, and in fact since 1906 the Magazine
has included articles on families from all parts of the state--from the
Goldsboroughs, Lloyds, and Tilghmans of the Eastern Shore, to the Lowndes,
Spriggs, and Taskers of southern Maryland; from the Todds, Merrymans, and Gists
of central Maryland, to the Brengles and Fritchies of western Maryland--nearly
100 articles in all, naming 15,000 persons. Most of the articles begin with the
first member of the family in Maryland and trace descendants in the male line
down to the early 18th century. The format is the so-called New England Register
plan, with the immigrant ancestor described, then his children, his
grandchildren, and so on, generation by generation.
All names mentioned in the combined works are accessible on this CD via a
single, electronic index.
