Abstract
- Documents and correspondence related to the McComb family spanning from 1788-1972. The collection contains McComb family genealogy, school at Hanover, correspondence between family members, inquiries about genealogy both from within and outside of the family, legal documents such as wills and land deeds, diary exerts, etc. The photographs of this collection contain portraits, family photos, travels- New York, Europe and honeymoons, family homes, family reunions, weddings, etc. Much of the McComb family (the branch this collection focuses on) seems to have stayed in the Midwest in places such as Indiana and Ohio. However, some of the later generations can be found in California or New York. The topics addressed range from simple updates throughout the family to their time at Hanover, sermons, graduations, continued schooling, genealogy, etc.
