Does anyone know anything abt the above family. It is also spelled Gimby and Gimbe. Louise Gimbi was my husband's great grand mother. Here is her obit and it lists her siblings who were still alive when she died in 1920. Using the obit I looked for Gimbis in McAdoo and Abraham Yost in Mahanoy City. I think that her sister was Catherine Gimbi Yost and her brother Albert Gimbi of McAdoo. I want to discover her parents but cannot find this family in the 1860 census when Louise was a little girl. There are Gimbis right over the borders into Luzerne and Carbon Co.s In places like Hazleton and Beaver Meadows Also Ancestry.com sends me to Gumby but nothing fits. ---------------------------- Obituariy of Louise Gimbi Keapf Tuesday April 20 1920 In local Tamaqua Pa. paper Mrs. Louise Krapf dies Monday April 19, 1920 in the morning.
