Birth, Marriage, and Death Records

/globaltree/ and put MD in the birth place field | 0ver 129,000 | varies | Free | A nice searchable site where people put up there own files in hopes to help others and/or get more information. So you would need to go to the submitter of the info to find out how accurate it is. |

/cgi-bin/igm.cgi and put Maryland in the birth place field | 0ver 700,000 | varies | Free | WorldConnect, sponsored by RootsWeb, is an online genealogy board where people can post their genealogical information as well as their contact information to help in verification. |

| Obiruary Daily Times: Maryland | obits.rootsweb.com
/cgi-bin/obit.cgi and put MD in the Keyword Search | 0ver 190,000 | more recent dates | Free | Another nice Rootsweb site. The problem is that most of the death records are more recent. But it’s a great start. |

Census Records
| Title of web site | Web site address | # of records | Date Range | Cost or Free | Notes |
| The USGenWeb Census Project | www.us-census.org and go down to Census Surname Search and then find MD and put in the word "census" | 529 links with varying numbers of records per each | 1790-1920 | Free | Wow, what a site! Transcribed by volunteers and still in the works, I really found this site great! You can search by year, state, or name! |
| Census Online, Maryland, 160 links | www.census-online.
com/links/MD/ | 1,000s | 1840-1900 | Free | Another nice site without the information of how much is posted. A lot is posted however it is difficult to search through to find your ancestor as there is not a surname search |
Cemetery Records

| Maryland Inscription Cemetery Search | www.obitcentral.com
/cemsearch/md-cem.htm | 383 documents with various numbers of results per each | varies | Free | Another nice searchable site that takes a lot of its information from RootsWeb, but it also catalogues from other cemetery sites. |
| African American Cemeteries Online | www.prairiebluff.com/
aacemetery/md.htm | 100s of records | varies | Free | Not very searchable, but if you are of African American Heritage, and had relatives in the three counties, I would check here for cemetery listings. |
| Cemetery Transcription Library | www.interment.net
/data/search.htm | 100s | varies | Free | What a cool site! It's hard to pin point exactly how many records there are per site as it only gives the "best" 300, although it gave a general number for the entire site. |
| Search the Virtual Cemetery | www.genealogy.com
/VG/vcem_search.html | 100s | varies | Free | A nice searchable site. And how fun it was to bring up a name and see a picture of the actual headstone. |
