British Roots of Maryland Families, Volume II

This is the culmination of research that was undertaken after the publication in 1999 of “British Roots of Maryland Families,” the groundbreaking work that identified 500 individuals and families who seeded the early population of Maryland. Using the same format as the parent volume, “British Roots II” discusses the British origins of an additional 203 Maryland settlers and establishes connections to 120 settlers in other colonies. Its publication was necessitated by information that came to light after the publication of the first volume, important clues that enabled the compiler to extend his research in Britain and provide genealogical evidence relating to hundreds more families.
