For those that have missed a this and that, I am in the process of collecting names and looking for folks that are in our heritage, our past. Recently I stumbled across the ship's manifest for the ship that
grandmother Jones's mother and father arrived on, I have the census record for 1920, showing the family of William and Trisilda Gibbs, along with Olga (who by the way was born in Cuba), Edith and Mary(gramda for the rest of us). I have these and some other documents stored in a central location on the internet so that they can be reviewed by more than just me.
Again I put out the call, please help with any information that may provide some insight into where and which places folks lived. I am still looking for when and where Grampop came ashore here. And even more curious is who his father and grandfather are.
For my brood, I found some interesting stuff about the Williams and Roberts clans, and I am looking in Missouri for more about Emmanuel. Some specifics I will not put here, but I will publish generalities and always a request for help.
The program that I am using is called gramps, it is an open source program that runs mainly on Linux, however there is a version that will run on windows. I use this program, because it has a good looking output and it is free.
So here is the call out, please if you can, help me out, call me on my cell, I think that everyone has the number, I need birthdates for about a dozen of you living folks, some dates for folks that are here someplace in the tree and more names, call me and talk with me, educate me, help me, help us.
