So I received a message this week that my 7-year-old nephew had a school project and needed to know an ancestor who had immigrated to the US. I can bet that my sister did not expect me to give her a list of nearly 40 ancestors for her son dating back to the 1600s! Once I had completed that little project, I was still feeling that genealogy itch, and since I’ve let my subscription to Ancestry.com expire, I decided to play with the website a bit. I cancelled the subscription for multiple reasons, yes, it is quite expensive, but too many times when I start researching, my ADD kicks in and I get lost in the research I’m doing. Without having that rabbit hole to jump down into, and this genealogy bug getting to me, I may actually get somewhere with this site (at least until the next squirrel comes along to distract me!).

Dobbins Family
Much of the information I have on the Dobbins family comes from descendant Bobby Dobbins Title. In fact, she has written a wonderful essay about the history of the Dobbins family entitled Four Generations of Dobbinses.
Honoring Corel Cousin Veterans
I have been struggling for the past week on how to post this list of Corel Cousins Veterans. It may not be the prettiest list, but I am proud to say I am related to them all and I thank each and every one of them for their service to our country!

Corel by Chance
If not Corel by blood, they must be Corel by Chance! This page was originally named “Corel by Marriage”, however, there is a family that needs to be included who did not marry into the Corel family.
