Re: [COCHRAN] Cochran Book
by Cynthia Cochran Scheuer-Jones
As Genealogist for Clan Cochrane in North America, I agree NOT all Cochran
lines are represented in that book. Also all information in any published
genealogy needs to be verified and documented as there is many mistakes in
several previously published "Cochran" Genealogies.
