This work contains all the family history articles published in the Maryland Historical Magazine from its inception through 1976. Most of the articles begin with the first member of the family in Maryland and trace descendants in the male line down to the early eighteenth century. Since they have been largely inaccessible to the researcher, we have excerpted these articles in entirety and rearranged them in this comprehensive two-volume work, adding an introduction by a noted Maryland genealogist and personal name indexes.

The consolidated articles--nearly 100 in number--now form a reference work of a type long needed in Maryland genealogy, with the range and scholarly authority demanded by the researcher. Following is a list of the families named in the titles to the various articles: Abington, Auld, Ball, Bartlett, Belt, Berry, Bladen, Blakistone, Bonvile, Brengle, Briscoe, Brooke, Caile, Calvert, Chew, Christison, Churchill, Clements, Cohen, Coplestone, Croker, Cromwell, Dent, Dixon, Dorsey, Dunn, Egerton, Ellicott Elliott, Emory, Fairfax, Faris, Fox, Foxworthy, Frisby, Fritchie, Frith, Gary, Gerard, Gist, Goldsborough, Gordon, Gough-Carroll, Hall, Harrison, Harwood, Haskins, Hausil, Hawley-Halley, Highland, Hollyday, Hungerford, Hynson, Jones, Kemp, Key, Lambdin, Lane, LeCompte, Lee, Levis, Linthicum, Lloyd, Loockerman, Lowe, Lowndes, MacKeeles, Marsh, Merryman, Monroe, Morgan, Murdock, Neale, Owens-Owings, Pearce-Levy, Pennock, Plater, Poe, Price, Pritchett, Randall, Ridgely, Rigbie, Rockhold, Sewall, Sharpe, Skinner, Smallwood, Smith, Snead, Sparrow, Sprigg, Stansbury, Stevens, Stewart, Sweetser, Tasker, Taylor, Tilghman, Todd, Webb, Weems, West, Winchester-Owens-Owings-Price, Wise, Wrightson, and Young-Woodward-Hesselius.

"The scholarship of these articles is high, and GPC is to be congratulated for bringing these articles together in a single publication."--NGSQ(Sept. 1980).
