Dear Kobel and Coble researchers, I have reviewed my Kobel/Coble notes and found two references to Albrecht Kobel that were posted previously on the KOBEL list. On 16 May 1998, Priscilla a list member, posted several articles from _John Waymire Papers_ under the heading, COBLE FAMILY OF AMERICA. It begins with Albrecht KOBEL born near Wenger Alps, Switzerland. This line continues through his son Bartholomaus of Ulm, Germany. I am not familiar with the Waymire Papers, so I cannot recommend the source. Is there anyone on the list who can? On 14 Jan 1999 Chip Coble (Chip2256@AOL.com) , a Kobel list member writes: Albrecht KOBEL born ca 1385 Wenger, near Jungfrau Mountains, Switzerland. Died 1440 in Ulm, Germany, Parents and wife unknown. To read these post in their entirety go to the archives. Type in KOBEL, click on the year these were posted. I'm not sure of the search engine for the archives is fine tuned enough for it to actually search the exact day, month and year these messages were posted. http://searches2.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/listsearch.pl Good luck! And please keep us up to date on your findings. Jean Kobel and Coble list manager
