Welcome to my website, dedicated to the genealogy of the Farabaugh families. The name is unique to Cambria County, Pa. It is a cognate of the Fehrenbacher surname, which originates from the Baden-Würtemberg province of Germany. I began researching my cousins in 1972, and published a book in 1990. Since then, I received many corrections, additions, anecdotes and photographs. The basic
family tree with index is included here, with a privacy filter.
Also, join us on
Facebook. It is my hope that relatives will help fill the branches of the family tree with the newer generations, contribute interesting narratives and provide photos. If things go well, there may be a second edition to the book! Finally, subscribe to this site below if you want to receive my occasional family essay.
