Hi! I just found your blog and I'm in San Bernardino/Riverside area visiting. Then I saw a posting or two from Lancaster Co., PA and that's where I live! Wow! a kindred soul!!
We moved to PA from CA when we retired and I've been actively pursuing my roots ever since!!
Hi, Linda. Glad you found my blog. I live in Mount Wolf, PA which is just across the river from Lancaster, north of Route 30. My sister used to live in Riverside. Do you know the Weidman family?
I live in San Bernardino, but have Lancaster Pa Ancestors back to 1727.
I photograph local cemeteries on Findagrave as well..
Hi, Jeff. What would we do without the findagrave.com postings for those ancestors who lived in distant states? I think it is wonderful that you volunteer to photograph your local cemeteries.
It has been a while since I have been out photographing gravestones, but hope to get back to it soon.
