What's New (past 30 days)
H Folks
I'm continuing to upload documents loaned to me; loading photos & info that I've collected over the years and scanning/photographing The Cobden Sun newspapers. The work ahead never stops - thank you!
I'm also working on the Whitewater Region's WWI & WWII casualties and gathering the names of Whitewater Region's WWI & WWII casualties.
I'm continuing to work on the businesses and buildings of Cobden 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. Email me directly at my email address: faygen@nrtco.net
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.
