Tracing the origins and history of the KOSBAB surname.
A warm welcome to the house of Kosbab that includes related surnames: Bartz, Betoli, Buckholtz, Bulo, Call, Dart, Evans, Fromholtz, Gardner, Gilbert, Heinz, Hodges, Hoenecke, Huenchen, Jackson, Lang, Rosser, Spilsted, Tillock, Vincent and Westlake.
The surname Kosbab is a very old German name meaning: Goat Shepherd
- kos (for: Ziege = goat)
- bab (for: Bube = Boy )
- Kosbab = Ziegenbub = shepherd for goats.
So the first Kosbab’s might have been shepherds, and why I call my brother an old goat!
This new web site was relaunched in 2023 incorporating a family tree software, history and image gallery.
Unfortunately, in early 2023 our website was hacked into. They made a mess and largely made the site unviewable. We didn’t lose anything except time and respect for anyone that does this kind of thing.
We’re rebuilding the website, it’s a slow process given there are over 1,000 pages.
