My mother's maiden name is Koob, my grandfather was Joseph A. Koob son of Joseph Leo Koob. My mom has a family tree that dates back to the Koob-Schmitt and Franz Koob, the 1800s. My grandparents resided in Philly. I know they came from Germany and that we are related to a Marrianne Cope from NY (real name Barbara Koob) who went to HI and is in the process of becoming a Saint. My email is
jms07r@fsu.edu if you have any information related to the Philadelphia Koobs.
