*[http://www.marylandmilitaryhistory.org/ Maryland Military Historical Society] was formed in 1982 to preserve the history, heritage, and memory of Maryland's organized militia. In addition to their focus on the militia, the Society strives to preserve the memory of the military accomplishments of all Marylanders, regardless of branch of service. The Historical Society was the instrumental in the establishment of the [http://www.marylandmilitaryhistory.org/aboutmus.php Maryland Museum of Military History].
 
*Records of veterans’ organizations and lineage societies may be found at their national headquarters or at state archives, historical societies, and [[Maryland Archives and Libraries|Libraries]]. Some [[United States Societies|Societies]] require members to submit applications documenting their ancestry back to a soldier. The applications typically provide birth, marriage, and death information, as well as establish relationship through multiple generations from the applicant to the qualifying ancestors, making these societies an excellent source of information. They may publish membership lists and other records. To contact these societies refer to the [[Maryland Societies|Maryland Societies]] page. For eligibility requirements, contact the individual society.

Throughout the beautiful land of Maryland historic [[Maryland Forts|Forts]] have dotted the land. Several are still standing and are now [http://www.nps.gov/state/md/ National Parks]. Some forts no longer exist, but the history they leave behind gives us clues to the life of our ancestors.

To find an individual's draft card, it helps to know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged alphabetically by county, within the county by draft board, and then alphabetically by surname within each draft board.
Most counties had only one board; large cities had more. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you determine the board number if he lived in a large city.

To find an individual's draft card, it helps to know his name and residence at the time of registration. The cards are arranged alphabetically by county, within the county by draft board, and then alphabetically by surname within each draft board. Most counties had only one board; large cities had more. Finding an ancestor's street address in a city directory will help you determine the board number if he lived in a large city. A map of Baltimore has been prepared which shows the draft board registration districts. The cities listed in the map are in alphabetical order by name of the city. For a copy of this map, see:
