MGS Online Data
The Maryland Genealogical Society has a variety of online data and databases. These include:
 
► MGS General Database (see search box at bottom of the page) - This database includes a number of record collections (mostly church records). If you are not logged in as a member, your search results will provide only basic information. To view the details, including the source of each result, you must sign in as a member. Consult the list of records included in the database to learn the scope of what's available and our FAQs about using the search function.
 
► Baltimore City Marriage Licenses Index - This Members Only index is designed to help you find/identify ancestors who obtained Marriage Licenses in Baltimore City from 1851-1919. As of 9 May 2022, the 1851-1919 Baltimore City Marriage Index is 100% complete, containing 284,643 records.The original index cards from 1851-1914 are alphabetized by the name of the groom, so the MGS index provides the first searchable index to the names of the brides. This index is also the first created for the marriage records from 1915-1919.
 
 
 
MGS Family Trees - Formerly known as the Maryland Members' Ancestry Project (Md-MAP), MGS Family Trees is a database of the Maryland ancestry of current and past MGS members. The information is being obtained from paper pedigree charts that have been submitted to the Society over the past 40 years and from electronic files submitted by current members. The database is a work in progress, but already contains information on almost 85,000 individuals. While MGS Family Trees is only accessible to members in our Members Only section, anyone can review the cumulative list of surnames in the database.
 
► MGS Bulletin and MGS Journal - MGS members have online access to full-text searchable digitized copies of all volumes of the Maryland Genealogical Society Bulletin (1960-2007) and the Maryland Genealogical Society Journal (2008-present). After you sign in as a member, select “MGS Bulletin & Journal” from the dropdown menu under "Members Only" on the lefthand navigation bar.
 
► First German United Evangelical Church Photographs - This Members Only collection includes several church anniversary books, a timeline of FGUEC history, and photographs of confirmation classes, congregation members, and pastors dating from the 1910s through the 1990s. The identities of pictured individuals are noted for some of the photos.
