APRIL Researching the Costin surname: I found my in my Mother's Bible the following information: My mother Corrine Elizabeth Costin Newell :Her Mother Elma Corrine Costin and sister Nellie Dean Costin were born to Dulie Costin and Stewart Costin. (Dulie Costin died 06-24-1941). From what I learned Dulie Costin and Stewart were cousins, and he died at an early age. Dulie Costin were the children of Chancey Costin and Mary Moore. I can not locate any information on Stewart Costin. Also in talking with my Mother over the years they lived and own a farm in Watha or surround area of Watha, and there were several uncles she mention. Uncle Oscar, Uncle Early, Uncle Mike who married Aunt Laura, and several other names , one being a sister who I think moved up North. I have listed on some paper work that is filed away. I've been working on this information for several years here and there. I am not very good at this, however I fine it very interesting. My plans were to go to Burgaw and look up data, and visit the cemetery. Email direct at:
