Hi Barry: Thanks for your feedback, and suggestions. I do not know "where" in Tyrone, my ancestors came from. The only info I have is from an Obituary that said the Cobean family came from Tyrone. There are no other living family members,that I am aware of , or in contact with. My father was 64 when I was born, and his father was 40 when he was born, thus this entire generation has died off. I will keep your info, and insight in mind.
