In addition to those two books, the Maryland Genealogical
Society added another invaluable guide when they published “A Geographical
Guide to Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century Baltimore Houses of Worship” by
Francis P. O’Neill in four installments in the Maryland Genealogical Society Journal from 2008-2010. This resource
provides a means for researchers to determine what churches existed in a specific
geographical area of the city. To illustrate, if your ancestor was a Lutheran
and lived in the southeast part of the city, by reviewing the guide for that
quadrant, you could locate the relevant churches in that area. Combining that
information with Kanely’s church record book allows you to determine the
existence and location of potentially applicable records.
O’Neill’s guide became interactive in 2013 when Stephen A.
Conner developed a website
(http://connergenealogy.com/BaltimoreChurchLocator.html)
based
on the articles. Before using the website, it is advisable to read Mr. Conner’s
guide “Another helpful feature of the guide is the section on frequently asked questions.
These resources have made locating your ancestor’s church in
the City of Baltimore
an interactive and easier experience. Good luck with your search!
