Maryland State Archives Vital Records Indexing

With a bunch of ancestors from Maryland, I appreciate the effort that Maryland is making to put the index of their vital records online. It isn't easy to find if you don't know it's there. See a description of the Indexing Project at http://mdvitalrec.net/cfm/index.cfm before clicking on the Search in the left margin. Be prepared to spend some serious research TIME, as the site shows phtos of index cards, five at a time, with no rapid way to jump alphabetically. Even when you know the name you want to see in the index, it might take you 10 minutes to find it. You can click through the index card to get a copy of the certificate for $12.
