This database is an index extracted from death and burial records from Maryland.

What’s in the Index

Volunteers extracted the details in this index from microfilmed copies of church, civil, family, and other records of Baltimore deaths and burials. Note that the number of available records can vary widely by county, and this database does not necessarily represent a comprehensive set of death records for the state during this time. While the majority of the records are from Baltimore, about 100 are from Somerset County.

Details in the index entries vary depending on the original record, but they may include

  • name
  • gender
  • race
  • marital status
  • occupation
  • residence
  • age
  • place of death
  • date of death
  • place of burial
  • date of burial
