Anthological Groups, etc.:
African American Genealogy - online research is much more difficult due to the scant
nature of record keeping for African American's prior to the Civil War.
Maryland Native Americans - Another link to GHLL Maryland Native American pages.
Native American Tribes of Maryland - Most Native Americans were forced to leave
Maryland during the 1700's, when eastern tribes were being displaced by colonial
expansion. These tribes are not extinct, but except for the descendants of Maryland
Native Americans who hid or assimilated into white society, they do not live in
Maryland anylonger.
