The large number of surnames with only one or two entries reflects the growing use of compound surnames, and also keystroke errors by the persons entering the data into the datasets we later acquired, or misspellings or ambiguous handwriting in the information they read.
In February 2024, 1,237,768 entries were added from Maryland marriage indices, part of the “MOTHERLODE” released by the Maryland State Archives. Special thanks to Reclaim The Records for acquiring this information. Please consider donating to them. Check all your genealogy names again. You may find a valuable record through this index.
