Hello Betty,......In my email just sent, I meant yo say.....

If you have a "Cobb Orphan's of Georgia" related cousin who would like some help with DNA testing costs please let me know. (Especially if the testing might cause us to better understand who Jacob Wilkins Cobb's (b. 1800 in Georgia) ancestors are.)

If you can get him to do the test then I can find the money for it.  It's
been a while and I can't find your record by searching on your email
address, unfortunately...  So please send me James' address and a short
bit of the pedigree so that I can get it in my head right...

I'll order the test and get others to contribute. It works best if I ask
people to donate after giving them a reason why we should..  So let's
start working on that now..
