Sharing Coppenbarger Photos with Cousins

I’ve recently reached out to several fairly close DNA matches on Ancestry.com. One turned out to be a second cousin once removed. Our common ancestors are Josiah Randolph Coppenbarger (1844-1934) and Elizabeth (Bennett) Coppenbarger (1849-1914) who are my great, great grandparents and his great grandparents.

We’ve been exchanging photos so both his family and mine have seen new Coppenbarger photos. I’m sharing the photos on my blog so other family members might discover them, too.

Please get in touch with me if you’re related! You can leave a comment or email me at drleeds@sbcglobal.net !

      • Hi, Brendan. I don’t know how I missed your message! Anyway, if your father is also named Brendan, I have him on my tree so I know where you fit in. It’s wonderful to meet another cousin! I’ll also be reaching out to you via email. 🙂
