Hable

No new discoveries this month, but I spent my scarce evening hours entering the photographs and data gathered during this summer's excursions into my genealogy software. I recall the graves I visited this summer in preparation of a GEDCOM update this weekend. Then, I propose a though experiment: Suppose I wanted to, say, give computers away to family and interested others that can load and display my genealogy information—and do only that. How cost effectively could this be done? I investigate.

I took two Genealogy trip during the month of August. Although the primary purposes for these trips was left unsatisfied, I sure had a great time getting out and exploring. In Lancaster, baptism records for Cora (Kline) Harrison, David H. Kline, and Catherine (Hogentogler) Kline were nowhere to be found, but the final resting places of several Hable descendants were photographed, as was the new monument to fallen World War I soldiers in Sixth Ward Park.

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.
