Troupe Family Letter Project

 
 
The letters found in this Project have been transcribed and provided through the generosity of Yvonda Robinett.  She will be working through these wonderful glances into the history of Noble County and its people.  Yvonda also hopes to provide this site with photographs of some of the people mentioned in these letters.  I hope you enjoy looking back through the years and a brief glimpse into the lives of the ancestors of our Noble County researchers.  I thank Yvonda for her kind time and generosity in the transcription and provision of these letters and photos for others to look back together.

Where Yvonda or I am able to uncover additional information on the subjects included in these letters, we will attempt to add those notes.
