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
Arendal
Norway

Hello Bryan
I am not sure If any of my Gibbs family were mariners or not because I
am finding this family hard to find. I have had a look at your site and
I can see many Gibbs names. I have the Gibbs marrying Into the Furneaux
family who were mariner and coastguards around Oystermouth.
Regards Jan
