Tammie,
In your visit to Hagerstown the visit should include the Washington Co.
Free Library which was already suggested. However, many of the genealogy
records are located in the Western Maryland Room of the library and it is
not open every day of the week - only open Monday afternoon and evening,
and Thursday & Friday morning and afternoon. The obituarys, census
records etc. as stated can be seen Monday thru Saturday.
