can search (i.e., leaf through endlessly ...) the Maryland counties'
land records indexes by starting at the link at right; however, Maryand
requires you to apply for a username and password, which takes about a
day to process. Once you get past the early, mostly blank index
pages, you will arrive at page 2 of the first book (at least, that's
what happens when you search Kent County's index book ...) This index
may save you a lot of tedium when you actually go to the site where the
records are stored - GL,III, ed.] |

| [I
recently purchased a voice-to-text software program which I hope to use
to complete the translations which Father started here. Without
the translations, you will find it difficult to understand what each
document actually records. I have picked out names, locations and
dates which may help you to locate where in these documents to start -
