In addition to the suggestion about the obituaries, here's this: In the 1910 Census, Oscar Corsbia (35)(AL, AL, MS), and minnine L. (29)(AL, AL, AL) were living in Allsboro, Colbert Co., AL with Addie (13), Mary E. (11), Ernest G.?C? (5), Samuel (1 7/12), and Samuel L. (69), widowed (AL, NC, TN). Oscar and Minnie had been married 14 years. Minnie was the mother of 4 children, 3 living. They lived on the Cherokee & Alabama Pike. REF: T-624, R-8, p. 114B. You might want to try and look at this yourself at Ancestry-Plus or Heritage Quest in your local library. I cannot read the relationship of Samuel L. to the family, but we might think he was the father. (You'd think father would be easy enough to interpret!) I'd also try 1900, 1920, 1930, etc. Knowing this, try to get their marriage certificate, about 1895/6. (Minnie is a common nickname for Mary in this time period. It was the nickname of my gr-grandmother Mary!) This should tell you their parents names and perhaps their birth places. Also there is a James J. Corsbie (b 1880, AL), and a Sam W. Corsbie (b.1873, AL) living in Allsboro in the 1920 Cenus. You might try to see what you learn from thse families., as Oscar's father may well be a Samuel. Good luck!

Often will give clues to children, grandchildren, siblings, etc., and where they live. Good luck > Am looking for info on Oscar M.
