Youngsters trace family lines in Potomac Heights project
Thirty five third to fifth graders at Potomac Heights Elementary School are tracing their ancestry as part of a Settlers Village display for the Rediscover America Bicentennial remembrance at South Hagerstown High School. The goals include finding lines back to 1776, copying wills, making charts, recording gravestones, and mapping migrations while visiting libraries and courthouses for research.
