I am aware of the firefighter Howard Gibson. Yes, I *should* be able to find Harry Henry Gibson in the 1900 but I can't. I've viewed the soundex several times and I've tried to examine any and every family into which Harry Henry Gibson might fit. I continue to search for all the spelling combinations for Harry, Henry, and Gibson. Still nothing. The only "clue" I have is remembering, during a one-time meeting with my father's sister when I was a young teenager, in which she said their parents died young. If only I had known to ask for more information! Thanks for taking the time to write; I appreciate hearing from you. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
