Welcome to my website, dedicated to the genealogy of the Farabaugh families. The name is unique to Cambria County, Pa. It is a cognate of the Fehrenbacher surname, which originates from the Baden-Wurttemberg province of Germany. I began researching my cousins in 1972, and published a book in 1990. Since then, I received many corrections, additions, anecdotes and photographs. The family tree surname index is the best gateway to the massive individual name index with over 55,000 relatives. After finding yourself there, you can navigate up and down through the generations. The family tree has a privacy filter that applies to the living. All are encouraged to email your photos, additions and corrections to me at novatony@verizon.net. Because it is impossible to monitor and track a heritage that is expanding exponentially, I am completely dependent on such submissions to fill the branches for the benefit of future generations. The links on this page lead to various anecdotes and details about our ancestors. You are also encouraged to join our very active Farabaugh community on Facebook.
