Maryland Vital Records at Reclaim the Records
Bob Greiner

MAY 24, SUNDAY 3 pm

General Meeting: In Person
Presentation: In Person

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.

This includes both indexes and digital images of birth, marriage, and death certificates from 1875 through 2014, although some of those are restricted.

Due to the volume and variety of records, and multiple indexing methods, the search for an individual record is not simple.

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.
