	Many twentieth-century court records are still in the counties, with earlier records or copies in the state archives. In the Orphans’ Court, the clerk of which is the register of wills, are wills and other estate records. Taxes and road surveys are in the commissioner’s office. A wonderful guide to the county court records in the counties and the Maryland State Archives (original documents, record books, and microfilm) is Morris L. Radoff, Gust Skordas, and Phebe R. Jacobsen, ''The County Courthouses and Records of Maryland, Part II: The Records'' (Annapolis, Md.: The Hall of Records Commission, 1963). Following a discussion of each type of record, a county-by-county listing covers what is available. Courthouse fires and other losses of records are mentioned. The guide also has pictures of the various types of indexing systems found throughout the counties. It should be noted, however, that much material has been transferred from the counties to the state archives since the publication of the work, and updated information should be sought in Annapolis.

-	A 1776 census was taken to determine population and is indexed at the Maryland State Archives, but it is not available for all counties. A 1778 “census” is a list of males over eighteen who in some counties signed the Oath of Fidelity, and in others, those who did not. Of the few extant lists, those for nine counties were published by Gaius Marcus Brumbaugh in ''Maryland Records: Colonial, Revolutionary, County and Church From Original Sources'', 2 vols. (1915–28; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1985). See also Bettie Stirling Carothers’ compilations, ''1776 Census of Maryland'', and ''1778 Census of Maryland'' (Lutherville, Md.: n.p., 1972). Both versions of the 1778 census published by Brumbaugh and Carothers contain transcription errors. Brumbaugh also published some of the 1778 Oaths of Fidelity (also indexed at the Maryland State Archives); others were compiled and published in two volumes by Bettie Stirling Carothers (Lutherville, Md.: the author, 1975–78).

	Although a few separations were granted, there were no divorces in Maryland before the Revolutionary War. From that time until 1842, they were granted by the state legislature; see Mary Keysor Meyer, ''Divorces and Names Changed in Maryland by Act of the Legislature, 1634–1854'' (1970; reprint, Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1972). Records of later divorces are with the clerk of the circuit court where the divorce was granted or at the state archives.
