Little correction thanks to Jonathan Hutchings
Christian was away on business in Helsingfors which was not his birth birth place--me
missreading along the census line.
Nationality for himself is Swedish his occupation was manager of a photography firm. Wife
Signe was from Sandefjord and she is Norwegian. At that time Norway was in Union with
Sweden and Helsingfors (Helsinki) is in Finland and at that time part of the Russian
Empire
Gibbs was in Kristiania (formerly Christiania now Oslo)
Well we have Helsingborg in Sweden Helsingør in Danmark and Helsingfors in Finland.

Terry

Hi
having easy access to the 1900 census for Norway and always a nosey old "#¤&
I fed in Gibbs and got an Ellen Gibbs born in 1863 birth place given as England (but that
normaly means the UK) living as a servinggirl with a family of Gibbsson the father being
Christian Gibbsson born 1858 in Helsingfors (a port in southern Sweden)
did your Gibbs sail to Sweden after the name tradition here then his sons might well have
added the 'son' to 'gibbs' to Scandinaviaize the name.
Who knows
regards
Terry
