Surprize, Surprize!!
A recent surprise in my family research actually began while "looking over the shoulder" of Ann Scott after she had been helping a Library patron. The patron was interested in a collection of potential ancestors who had immigrated about the same time as my immigrant ancestor couple. Information assembled for the patron indicated that one member of that family had become associated with the same PA Moravian church as my ancestor. Aha! Perhaps some references to that individual might be lurking among the church records I had recently collected for my own research. In searching records for that and a neighboring Moravian church, I discovered that -- to my surprise -- this individual had actually become the second husband of my immigrant ancestor's wife after both had been widowed. A most serendipitous surprise!
