I'm still researching my elusive Giffords! My great grandfather, Alfred Daniel Gifford was born July 27, 1861 in Iowa to Margaret S. Wagoner & her husband. Mr. Gifford was apparently alive until at least Aug 8, 1862, because Alfred's younger brother, Frank Llewellyn Gifford, Sr. was born Feb 4, 1863 in Grass Valley, California. Margaret remarried in 1869 to a Ferdinand Nelson. Mr. Gifford was alleged to have been born in Canada, possibly Nova Scotia. ANY help with my Mr. Gifford would be appreciated! I also have info on Alfred's 4 children, etc. Patty Mulder PMulder749@aol.com http://members.aol.com/pmulder749/wanted/wanted.html Patty's Most Wanted!
