Vicky,
When I first started out I went to the local Morman church to their
family history library FHL [is the initials used for this library,
when someone is referring to it], they all have one. And there you
can look at the books for free.
Plus I went to the local historical society, you have one near you
also, and they had a MD section, and there too you could look at their
books for free.

Both places are for free, the only reason I mentioned this to you is
because when I first started my research no one pointed me in a
direction, I had to learn on my own.

And I wanted to see the abstracts of the wills myself, heck I wanted
to see the name MIDDLETON in any book from MD I could find in these
places. And before Wills were put on CD's to sell, it was a book.
And all FHL have these books or they will get them for you, and at no
cost.

I live in Calif and have done all my Maryland research from here
through these places. I am a person that wants to get things now, just
as I see you are, so I thought I'd point you in a direction in which
to get them now. I always came away from the FHL or Historical
Society with some info.
Shirley
