Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church served many Irish (and later German) immigrants in Baltimore City. These baptismal records often provide birth dates that cannot be found elsewhere since Baltimore did not require civil registration of births until 1875. Even then, compliance with the requirement was scant. Most entries contain the mother's maiden name, whether the birth was legitimate or not, and often much more information about the family. Over 6000 entries appear in this volume.--Publisher's description.
