Oh, yes you are LeeAnne. We know each other - heh, cousin!. Why is your email
Aussiemate - did you marry an Aussie?
By the way, Leanne, I have traced the Sibbitt familt now back to Northern Ireland, hope to
have some specifics soon about the Scots-Irish Sibbit family. It seems we are the same
family as the present day "Sibbett" family in Northern Ireland. I hope
something fall out soon.
Also traced the Sibbitt family from Scotland and found the first Sibbit - I was shocked to
find he was not a Englishman but rather a Flemish Knight in the service of William the
Conquerer. We know his home city in Flanders now. That is about as far as I can track
the Sibbitt family back.
Kinds of ruins my idea of where the Sibbitt family came from - I thought complete
Anglo-Saxon and Lowland Scottish ancestry - not true - first Norman-Flemish and then
Lowland Scottish. The Sibbitt family oppressed the Anglo-Saxons - we's bad!
Let's keep in touch.
Wilmer Sibbitt
