British Roots of Maryland Families [First Volume]

Presents material on the British origins of Maryland families. Families were chosen for three reasons: because there was some reason to believe their home parish had been identified; families had taken root and left descendents in the New World; and because they arrived well before 1800. Entries offer information on some 500 individuals and families whose descendants came to Maryland from Britain. Sources used include British publications, pedigrees in English county histories, and Maryland records. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
