Hi Shari, Bobbie, and Mike:

The books you are talking about are:

CEMETERY RECORDS OF SOMERSET COUNTY MARYLAND by Ruth T. Dryden (Family Line
Publications, 1989)
CEMETERY RECORDS OF WORCESTER COUNTY MARYLAND by Ruth T. Dryden (Family Line
Publications, 1988)

I own them and have found them very useful. Both are in paperback and
inexpensive. They may well be still available from Family Line Publications
in Westminster, MD. 1-800-876-6103. They are available on the web at:
http://pages.prodigy.com/Strawn/family.htm

I'm new to this mailing list, but have been doing genealogical research in
Somerset and Worcester Counties in Maryland, as well as in Accomack Co., VA
for many years.
