-*'''Birth information:''' All counties in Maryland began recording births in 1898, although full compliance did not happen until about 1910. A helpful substitute record to find birth information is a death record. However, date and place of birth on a death record is considered secondary information, as it was not recorded at the time of the birth event. The birth information should be corroborated with other [[Substitute Records For United States Birth Information|substitute records]] to improve accuracy.
-*'''Finding Parents:''' All counties in Maryland began recording deaths in 1898, although greater compliance did not happen until after 1914. They often will list the parents of the deceased and their birth information. [[How to Find United States Death Records|Search Maryland death records]]
-*'''Look in all censuses:''' Always look for your ancestor in every possible census. There are clues regarding immigration, naturalization, and occupation that can lead to other records. Sometimes parents can be found living with their children later in life. [[United States Census Online|Search U.S. Censuses]].
