CHILLICOTHE — ver wondered if you might be related to a famous historical figure or the family down the street who has the same last name? You just might be able to find that information in a cozy little shop in Chillicothe.
What began as an effort to help her son win a scholarship has become a life-long passion for Doris Cozart.
Cozart said her love for genealogy began some 40 years ago when her son Robert Carl was an Eagle Scout. He was offered a chance to apply for a Sons of American Revolution scholarship.
One of the scholarship requirements was to prove four generations on all sides of his family. “This was when I really got serious about family research,” she said.
“I was a Parker, and my mother always said that Quanah Parker was her first cousin,” Cozart said. After extensive research, she discovered she shared six generations of ancestors with the famous Comanche chief, but there was no direct blood relation. “My mother was very upset with me when she found out she was not directly related to the famous Indian,” Cozart said.
Cozart recently opened a genealogical research library on U.S. Hwy 287 at the intersection of Ave. I South in Chillicothe.
