What's New (past 15 days)
H Folks
**New- Facebook page "Cobden of the Past by Faysgenealogy" - have a look at it.
Currently I'm continuing to catch up on documents loaned to me and loading photos & info that I've collected over the years. I'm also working on the barbers
& barbershops of Cobden for Whitewater Historical Society and would appreciate information and photos related to them.
I greatly appreciate your emails and ask that you be patient as I will answer your emails as soon as I can.
I also appreciate the updated information and photos that you contribute to this site for all to enjoy. As you can see from "What's New" and the photos attached
to individuals, there have been many contributors.
Hoping your genealogy search goes well.
