Tim G. solves two long-standing family history mysteries this month: The burial location of Baby Selma Anflick at Har Jehuda Cemetery in Upper Darby, and the relationship of Bishop John Joseph Graham to the rest of the Grahams' in the Graham Family Tree. I also lay out plans for two August trips: a trip to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, during the first week of August, and a trip Boston during the third week.

This month of Genealogy By Tim G., I finally (mostly) finish my year-long quest to enter the descendants of Peter Mumma posted at Mumma.org into my own database before turning my attention to researching my own surname, Graham. I remember my first cousin twice removed John Patrick Graham, who passed away last December. Lastly, I work on clearing BillionGraves's new paywall last week, a job I expect to finish this week on Twitch.

English Anflick gravestone photos have been posted to Find-A-Grave. In preparing my application for the Genealogical Society of Pennsylvania's First Families lineage society, I've ordered birth and marriage records for my paternal grandparents. Lastly, I announce my plans to perform research on the Mumma branch of my Lancaster ancestors this summer. Links are in the show notes.

I wrap up 2022 with a few short updates for December, including some new Find-a-Grave activity. I discuss some recent research into the Sarah Calvert, the mother of our line of Pickersgills in America, and I wrap up with some predictions/resolutions for the new year. I also threw a Christmas surprise in here from the vault. Links are in the show notes.

My media gallery reformatting project has led me to the Boland family, and in particular to one of the family tree's most famous inhabitants: Notre Dame sports radio and television personality Joe Boland. In this episode, I cover my family's ties to "Mr. B", his college life, and career as both a coach and a radio announcer. Then we'll hear a pair of 1954 broadcasts featuring the man himself.

Although the summer of 2022 has been highly productive, I did not manage to complete even three of my six challenges. I did, however, make some progress cataloging soldiers buried at the Philadelphia National Cemetery's Mexican War Monument. I did visit a local cemetery with my brother and his kids. I did get back some Y-DNA results. I did solve a long-standing family history mystery. I did do some seaside genealogy in Atlantic County, New Jersey. So even though I did not manage to complete even half of my challenges. I still call this summer of research a success. Why? Because it's my show. I do what I want. ? Links in the show notes.

Doris Taylor Doyle, cousin of my grandmother, Joan Harrison Graham, died this past March. She was 91. Doris was one of my earliest family history contacts outside of my immediate family, grandparents, and known cousins. She once sent my grandmother a set of photocopies of old family photographs, including one of David H. Kline surrounded by all of his daughters that was taken around the turn of the 20th century. Doris and I spoke initially on the telephone, and later continued an e-mail correspondence that lasted from 2008 to 2013.
