Ann has suggested that the Association subscribe to a new publication by the Anne Arundel County Genealogical Society...a quarterly-since so many of our subscribers descend from RAWLINGS, early arrivals in Maryland. The cost is only $15.00 per year which includes membership in the organization. Your Editor thinks it's a good idea.
