Hello,
I recently enjoyed visiting your website and discovering information related to the state of Maryland!
We’ve placed your link on our Maryland resources page at MyGenealogist.com. A lot of visitors and clients check our site for helpful resources related to Maryland, so this link will definitely be of interest to them in their research efforts.
We were wondering if you might also be able to place a link to us on one of your resource pages? We would really appreciate the help as we are trying to make people aware of how we might assist them with their local genealogy research at the MD State Library, MD State Archives, local public libraries, and at the LDS Family History in Salt Lake City, Utah. We’ve done thousands of research hours in Maryland and surrounding states and we love what we do!
In addition to the researchers who work for us at the state capital in Annapolis and throughout the state, we also have researchers who’ve had great success tracing many families to their place of original outside of the United States. We often do original onsite research inIreland, the UK, Italy, Poland, etc, and then end up connecting different branches of a particular family on both sides of the Atlantic!
We welcome any project and enjoy being of help and service to people of many different backgrounds. Diversity is important to us and we are also specialists in African-American and other types of genealogical research having worked on hundreds of cases with many different types of people from just about everywhere.
Here are a couple of links where you can learn more about us:

Thanks so much for all your help!

Hello, My name is Alex Boydston. I am the descendant of Thomas Boylston who landed in Calvert County around 1635. I hope to find some records from Calvert County and would like some assistance. If anyone knows any Boylston’s or Boydston’s in the Calvert County region who have information please contact me at alexboydston@gmail.com.
I’m so happy to find this website. Many generations of my ancestors were born in Calvert County.
My husband, Joseph Small, is a direct descendant of Robert Brooke through his son, Roger. We are very interested in visiting the grave site and the general vicinity of the original family home, Brooke Place Manor or De La Brooke Manor, and learning more about the history of the area and this family.
Any information you can provide would be most appreciated.
Thanks for all your assistance!
I am the Gibbons family descendant who helped Douglas Breen figure out “Where did that grave marker come from?” a few years ago. He recorded his findings in answer to that question in a monograph, further titled “The Gibbons Family in Calvert County, Maryland.” I will contact you with a research question.
I am looking for William Bigger who fathered a son of the same name in St. Peter’s Parish in New Kent Co. VA in 1680.
I am working on a relationship between him and the Bigger family of Calvert Co.
William Bigger, Sr., above, may or may not be tha same man who commanded the sloop Two Sisters out of Barbados as late as 1688.
I enjoyed this site and plan to contact the gift shop to order a book.
I enjoyed this site, would anyone like to exchange help?, I’m in Cecil Co.Md. I could to cemetery research, for help with anything on Leonard Wheatley thank you
I am looking for information on the parents of John Wilkes Denton, born @ 1841-43 to John or William Denton and Mary or Maria (Alton, given on descendant’s death certificate) of District 2 (Prince Frederick), Calvert Conty Census of 1850. Mary is shown (?as a widow) in 1850, with children in addition to John W., Susan J., George H. and Margaret E. In the 1860 census of District 2, Calvert County, I find a “Mariah”, daughter of James Ross, with children John, George and Margaret. In the census of District 2, Calvert County 1870, Maria is listed with John and George. John relocated to Baltimore by @ 1870 and George followed to Baltimore later.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
I am the biographer of Bess of Hardwick and have become interested in her (illegitimate) gt granddaughter, Jane Lowe/Sewell/Calvert b. c.1633 in Derbyshire, England – died January 1701 in London and buried at St Giles-in-the-Field. She lived in Maryland for many years and I understand she was on a visit to England when she died suddenly. I have been doing some research in UK sources, but in May 2011 I am visiting Washington DC and Philadephia as part of a lecture tour I am giving for the Royal Oak Foundation. I am hoping to find some spare time to do some research into this exceptional woman. So I was delighted to come across your website. I am hoping Imay get to visit you in person as well as virtually!
My Grandmother was born in Calvert County, we are happy to say that at 102 yrs old she is still going strong! She remembers some things but alot is missing. She is the daughter of Mamie Wicks and unknown father. So we are coming to Calvert County this summer to do some research and maybe find some answers about her father.
See you soon, love the website!
