    1. Re: [PAYork] York County Cemetery and Church
    2. Harold- Same here. Johann Martin WEIGEL is also my ancestor. He's the one I was looking for in Christ Church Graveyard when I was told the stones from the earliest section of the burial ground had been moved. I seriously doubt any bodies were moved--they seldom do that--just move the stones. Joan In a message dated 11/7/2008 9:29:25 A.M.

This Spring there were still a few tombstones (I don't know about the bodies) behind the church. A few years ago, there were also some tombstones (I don't know about the bodies) in an unfinished area under the church. I don't know if they are still there. Supposedly, Johann Martin Weigel (11 Nov 1703 - 31 Jan 1759) was buried in the Christ Lutheran Church church-yard. However, I have never been able to locate his tombstone at either the church or Prospect Hill Cemetery. If anyone knows the location of his tombstone, please let me know. Thanks. Harold A.
