Maryland Vital Records at Reclaim the Records
\nBob Greiner<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>MAY 24, SUNDAY 3 pm<\/h5>\n

General Meeting: In Person
\nPresentation: In Person<\/p>\n

In 2023 Reclaim the Records (RTR), a private organization founded in 2015, obtained and published online all Maryland available vital records from the Maryland State Archives.<\/p>\n

This includes both indexes and digital images of birth, marriage, and death certificates from 1875 through 2014, although some of those are restricted.<\/p>\n

Due to the volume and variety of records, and multiple indexing methods, the search for an individual record is not simple.<\/p>\n

Bob Greiner will describe the available records and demonstrate how to use the RTR website to search for a vital record and retrieve the image.<\/p>\n
