Thank you. I can give him a try in case he can connect Henry's father or
brother into his line. I have 1 of Henry's brothers I have nothing but
his birth date and location.
The rest of his family was in Wisconsin, Illinois & Minnesota before they
started spreading out to other states in the 1920's. For the most part the
family remained in Wisconsin.
I listed Gibb(s) since at times in certain records the name was incorrectly
spelled as such.
Again-thank you for the tip,
I will give it a try,
Kathy

Hi Kathy,
Notice you have the name Gibbs in your surnames. Gibbs is pretty
popular in KY and some came from Indiana. My ancestors ended up in KY
and came from Ripley, Dearborn, Switzerland counties in Indiana.
There is a fellow and his wife in Hancock County, KY that run the
genealogy archives there. Might try contacting him with your questions.
His email is:
megibbs1(a)tds.net (Hancock Archives)
Good luck!
