Mechanicsburg, PA
2011 National Reunion

New Gossenhoppen

New Gossenhoppen

Saturday, we enjoyed enjoyed each others compnay and the delicious
buffet at Hoss's Restaurant in Mechanicsburg, PA, just a short drive
from the home of our hosts, Jack and Joan Shambaugh.

Newcomers and 1st cousins Roberta Nestor and Cindy Dopp
have been searching for their Shambaugh ancestor.  We are pretty
sure we have been able to connect them as cousins of our hosts.

Michael Foote and Dale Leppard look over the family tree at the home
of Jack & Joan Shambaugh, comfortably inside from the heat.

We were all happy to meet Helen & Lloyd Sanders, distant Shambaugh
cousins of our hosts by way of Bensheim, Germany.

While attending the reunion on both Saturday and Sunday, I drove around Cumberland County visiting local churches and cemeteries
looking for as many of the earlier generations of Johann Georg Schambach of 1749 that I could find.  Below are pictures of several of these.
