If you haven't taken the time to join one of the societies listed below - why not do it now?  They are wonderful research resources and are staffed by knowledgeable volunteers who can help you find your missing link.  The Baltimore County Genealogical Society publishes a quarterly newsletter, The Notebook.  It is well worth the membership cost alone and can often provide valuable connections to others researching your same surname.
