In this month's episode I describe the Schmidt family of York, Pennsylvania, and my recent trip to the Prospect Hill Cemetery there. I also describe the fun and adventure that ensued when I entered an uncommon family name into the marriage records search of the Delaware County Register of Wills' website.

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.

JENKINTOWN, Pennsylvania (GBT) — A long-standing family history mystery was solved late last week with the discovery of two documents from AncestryLibrary's Richmond, Virginia, family records. Katie Anflick, Morris Anflick's paternal grandmother, was listed by name as Katie Shapiro in both the 1920 federal census and the 1926 Philadelphia City Directory. No explanation for Katie's unexpected surname had been apparent until now.
