Be Counted in History – Complete the 2020 Census!

HAGERSTOWN, MD (September 25, 2020) – Washington County Government reminds citizens only five days remain to complete the 2020 Census. The 2020 Census must be completed no later than September 30, 2020.
Today we are focusing on the historical importance of the Census. Did you know that Census information is valuable to genealogical research? Many historians and genealogists use the Census as a resource to help trace invisible stories of common people.
Citizens are encouraged to read the article From Antietam to Ohio: Using the Census to Find Georgianna Rollins to learn how the Census can provide valuable information dating back hundreds of years.
