Dear Kay,
These folks could very well be family - I have a long way to go before I
will ever be able to draw a link. At this present juncture, I cannot even
pinpoint birth, marriage, death locations or the migration path of my
Grandparents! This current info - the Middlesboro, KY link - I just came
upon today upon reading a Birth Cert for an Aunt I did not even know existed
until 1999! My Gibson family appears to be shrouded in mystery... Kay, I
thank you greatly for your information - I have it copied and will follow up
diligently!
I truly hope that all is well in your corner of the world.

Warm Regards,
Virginia
Port Angeles, WA
searching: Gibson, Brown, Bart, Robinson - and possibly Nizzo and
Carrington/Earrington.
