Judy Lininger wishes she had more information about her grandfather, a farmer who died in the influenza pandemic of 1918. When she learned the Waynesboro (Pa.) Historical Society was seeking journals to document the COVID-19 pandemic, Lininger wanted to contribute her present-day writings. “I keep thinking one of my ancestors, someone from my line, will go to the historical society and read my story,” Lininger said.
