Se. 3, Ep. 10: Spotlight on Earl and Esther Hable

Description

Work on transcribing the vast database at Mumma.org into my family tree software with the present focus on the descendants of Frederick Mumma (1767-1822) and a future focus on the descendants of Johannes Mumma (1763-1829). Roxborough High School administration offers provisional approval for an after-school genealogy club, to be facilitated by yours truly—but only if yours truly can drum up enough interest. Lastly, and ancestor spotlight on Earl and Esther Hable. I supposed you could call them a "power couple" that stayed together in the face of great physical challenges.

Description

This month I follow a breadcrumb trail of Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution application sources to an unrelated Columbia doctor who owned an original first- or second-edition Luther Bible which might have recorded the Hougendoblers' family history all the way back to 1522. Links are in the show notes.

Description

The end of summer is nigh! In today's episode, I tell you about my amazing finds from this summers trips through Milton, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, and to Lancaster county, Pennsylvania.

Find-A-Grave Digest for April 2023

I'm quite a bit behind on my digests! All photographs from the month of April were taken on various days at Abington Friends Cemetery in Jenkintown. I was not able to pull up many details on those whose gravestones I photographed, and those I were able to discover may have been too personal in nature to feature. In the meantime, enjoy this month's featured gravestone photograph, that of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Noble. It is the oldest in the lot.

Se. 3, Ep. 7: Tinker Time, or Letter to a Third Cousin

Description

This month on the podcast, I detail some of the tinkering I've done with my server. I review my plans for this summer's genealogy bike tour of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, which will occur some time around the dates August 19th through August 22. These plans include photographing some Mumma and Marley gravestones, visiting LancasterHistory in search of the original marriage records of Rev. J. J. Strine and also to locate the final resting place of my direct ancestor Peter Mumma who died some time around the year 1850, and potentially meeting my nearest living relative in Lancaster. In the final segment, I read the letter that I wrote to my closest living relative in Lancaster, whom I believe is a third cousin of my father.
