Project Information

About

The Combs Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform for gathering information on the Combs surname. The aim is to encourage participation from fellow researchers, creating a valuable reference for genealogists with an interest in the Combs family name.

As a One-Name Study, this project is not restricted to individuals who are biologically related. Researchers can expand their studies to explore various specific methods and areas of interest, such as geography (e.g., Combs families in England), historical periods (e.g., 18th-century Combs families), or specialized topics (e.g., Combs DNA, occupations, or demographic statistics). The project may encompass numerous family branches that are not directly connected. Some researchers may even choose to go beyond identification and documentation to develop fully sourced, comprehensive family histories of the branches uncovered through this name study.
