Travelling in search of family history!

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.

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. I was able to photograph some ancient Hougendobler gravestones in Milton, and some very old Mumma(h) gravestones in Lancaster. I also stumbled upon some obscure and informative travelling pastors' records at The Lancaster County Historical Society, now more commonly known as LancasterHistory. Links are in the show notes.
