Hi Anita, Sounds interesting what you have found. I have gone as far as my ggg grandparents William and Nancy Gibson.All of it I have researched through the internet. I have met distant cousins doing so. Most of my Gibson's were from Rapides Parish, La.I was told that there is Choctaw blood in our line as well. My gg grandfather John Gibson was born in Alabama in 1839,I have been unable to find out exactly where. I have his death certifacut, only showing William and Nancy as his parents. I have checked census records and have come up with nothing. John Gibson's son George Washington Gibson( my g grandfather)was born in Rapides Parish in 1871 and had a big family, one of his sons was Ralph Gibson ( my grandfather) and my birth dad is Ralph Gibson Jr. I have never met him, due to my mom and him devorcing when i was a baby. My mom remarried and moved from Louisiana to illinois where her second husband adopted me. By the way my mothers name is also Anita! Thanks for your reply and best of luck with your research....Pamela
