Wicomico County MDGenWeb Historical Records

In the months to come, we hope to collect here miscellaneous historical records for Wicomico County, Maryland. These records will be displayed here and also placed in the USGenWeb FTP Archives. We welcome and encourage you to submit any records you might come across! Please visit the "How-To" page for information on submitting data.

Important Note! Wicomico County wasn't created until 1867 from portions of Somerset and Worcester Counties. The entire Lower Shore area was once Old Somerset County. There are a number of data files on the Somerset County site that cover present-day Wicomico County's area, so be sure to check the Somerset Historical Records page, too.
