Tom,
When you go into the library from the front entrance, there is a stairs
to your right. The Western Maryland Room is up on the 2nd level. There
are many volumes of genealogies and there is a verticle file with manila
folders . Ask the director in there about them.

Also there is a book called "Necro... something for, Franklin Co. PA."
[can't remember the exact name]
The room is open Thurs. & Fri. morning and afternoon.
