This is the most comprehensive collection of basic information ever compiled in the field of Maryland records of genealogical interest. Along with the 1776 census -- which alone is worth the price of the set -- are marriages, loyalty oaths, tombstone inscriptions, pensions, naturalization, surveys, rent rolls, and other types of lists. Over 50,000 individuals are named." . . . no other publication contains inside its covers such a wide variety of helpful materials for the researcher in Maryland genealogy." -- Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin (Summer 1978).
