This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Gibson, Gipson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1hB.2ACE/1500.1.1.1 Message Board Post: No, I'm not part of this family, I just have access to ancestry.com which made it easy to look at the census with the info you gave. Check out the familysearch.com free 1880 index and census search for Harvey. I tried and I found a Harvey Gipson in KY b. 1868 and looked up the original on ancestry.com to see if they just keypunched the name incorrectly. It looks like Gipson with a tall "p" like it's both b and p together so it might be the correct family but I think you should check it out on familysearch.com . At least it's a start for KY. Let me know if you have any problems.
