Here you can read and post queries, pensions, biograpical

Dear Peggy,
Thank you for your reply. I apologize for taking so long to get back to
you and thank you. Yes, in fact, Hannah Duffey was the wife of my Edward
Rogers #2. But, I did not have the date. Thank you.
Another kind soul also sent me the other information you provided. Very
interesting. I will add it to my Rogers file.
Thank you,
Bruce

Hi
I posted a message a few days ago about death certificates from 1894 and
1901 listing the undertaker's address as 115 E. West Street. I couldn't
read the actual name of the undertaker. I found an ad in the Baltimore
Sun from 1945 listing the address of 121 E. West Street belonging to a
funeral home (or an undertaker) called Bernard Harle. I printed a
current map of Baltimore and found that E. West Street is close to
Federal Hill Park and Riverside Park off of I-395. Both of my ancestors
whose funerals were conducted by this business lived on Gittings Street,
which is very near E. West Street. Does anyone have any ideas about
where these records could be located? Is there another funeral home
near that address now? Thank you!

A number of people have asked about where to find maps of old Baltimore.
The following web site has maps of Baltimore in 1848 and 1905. It also has
maps of many other cities.
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/historic_us_cities.html
If the link above does not work, "us" above has an underscore ( _ ) before
and after it.
Also, most, if not all, of the Baltimore City Directories had a map of the
city in the front. These are on microfilm at most of the genealogical
research places in the Maryland-DC area, and can be ordered from the LDS
Family History Centers anywhere.
The Maryland Historical Society also has some books with detailed maps of
all of Baltimore County (inc. the city) in the 1800's.
But the best map, which I've used the most often, is a digital map of 1876
Baltimore, which came with the Beginner's Edition only of Version 8.0 of
Sierra's Generations Family Tree software. I believe it is a copy of the
map from the City Directory. The best thing about it is that it has an
index of all the city streets, making it easy to find them. It is a fairly
large file (2.6 MB). For some reason, Sierra packaged an 1870 Census Index
and maps for eight major cities in the Beginner's Edition only (18 CD's) of
their latest upgrade. It is a great resource, but is not in their more
expensive editions with more CD's. I know it was still available in our
local Target stores about a month ago, I think for about $40. (I don't work
for Sierra or Target.)
Most of these maps show Ward and Precinct locations, but exact boundaries
are often hard to discern in black and white.
Finding Addresses on the map
I only recently learned (from someone on this list) that all of the
addresses in Baltimore were renumbered around 1887. This is very important
if you try to find what block they lived in, or to locate them in a census
using their address. If you have an address from after 1887, it was
probably the same place it is now. If you have a house number from before
then, its location was different from where that house number is now. The
1887 Baltimore City Directory listed both new and old addresses for everyone
in the Directory. It also has a section in the front that shows, for each
street, where each new and old address was in relation to the cross streets.
>From this, you can determine exactly which block your ancestor lived in.
This is a great resource. I wasted many hours before I learned about it.
I hope this helps everyone find your ancestors' locations in Baltimore.

Hi All!
I see on the Maryland State USGenWeb page some information
regarding vital records but no address in which to write to in order to
obtain a copy.
My grandparents were married in Maryland (I have no idea what
county) in 1946 and I would like to get a copy of their Marriage
License/Certificate. Does anyone have an address or anything for this?
Thanks in advance!

I would appreciate any information that anyone could give me concerning the
naturalization process. As I understand the process, and immigrant must take
an oath, which is part of an "Intention to become a citizen", then, several
years later, the person appeared before a judge and became a naturalized
citizen.
In addition to the "Intention to become a citizen" and the "naturalization
document", was there any other document or application that the immigrant had
to prepare and file?
I am trying to learn where in Ireland my immigrant Grahams had lived.
Any comments, information and/or suggestions would be appreciated.

Silas CHAPMAN died in 1723, Somerset Co, MD. In his Will, he names sons:
Edward, Silas, John, Humphrey, Pearce, Joseph, Benjamin and wife, Mary.
I have not been able to locate anything further on this family (except
perhaps Edward who may have died in 1730.) Did any of these Chapman sons
migrate elsewhere? Am especially interested in Silas Chapman, Jr.
Thanks.

Jerry,
The URL was too big for the line, it should have been everything between the <

problem sometimes sending Text from AOL. Mary Ellen steered you right though,
sorry for any problems.
Regards
Alan
Thanx. It's OK.

One of the saving graces of researching Maryland is the Maryland Archives on
line. I could spend years just sifting through the material in there and
still find leads! From ..."Archives of Maryland, Vol. 41; Provincial Court
Proceedings, 1658"

... is a typical URL - I found a court case of ...
BOLIN v ANDERTON; ANDERTON v BOLIN
p.98, p130, p156-7, p166-7
In summary it looks like Bowling and John Anderton had a trading agreement
that when John went back to England in June 1657 "in Company wth the pent
GouT" (the present government?) he would buy £20 worth of goods from the £40
that Bowling gave him, keeping £20 as commission. Bowling appears to have
been the Overseer for John and when he he was away in England went to
Virginia during a sickness, leaving the crop of Corn & Tobacco to ruin.
Although the case seems to have gone against John, Bowling did not get his
full £40 either.
The operative fact for me here was that John Anderton was part of a
Government mission to England. In support of which I found ...
