*Family Records
+

For over 30 years, volunteer indexers extracted this information from microfilm copies of the original records. In 1998, a few of the entries were published on 7 CDs by the Family History Department of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as the "North America Vital Records Index." This is an index of some deaths and burials throughout Maryland. The index is not necessarily complete for any particular place or region.&nbsp; This index is not complete for any particular place or region.
