Surnames: Gathers, Gethers (or even Gaithers)
Hi Carrie. I'm kind of conducting blind searches for any possible relatives out in the world who are (or were) related to my father's side of the family. They currently go by the name "Gathers" but at one point I was told by my mother that it was spelled "Gethers" and possibly "Gaithers". Everyone since then have found the "GA-thers" spelling the more acceptable of all of the spellings. I know what you mean when you stated that it's like things are being hidden from you. When we try to ask the elders of the Gathers family (those that we know personally) about other people that we may be related to.. they either clam up or amnesia conveniently takes over. :)

I would like to know my ancestry (when if they don't want us to - or don't care for us to).

I at least know that they are basically from South Carolina. There are Gathers (or Gethers) in Georgia, the Carolinas, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut. If you email me, I will try to give you the email address to a relative that may be able to assist you further. I apologize, but I'm still clueless at this stage. I've only just begun my attempts at searching for family. :)

Lgathers@pryorcashman.com (Any other Gathers, Gethers or Gaithers out there...feel free to contact me also)
Have a wonderful Christmas Holiday and a blessed New Year.

Surnames: Gethers/Ogborn,
I married Dave Gethers and Galen was his uncle. He was one of 8 siblings. I am having trouble finding many Gethers. Were you in the Greenfield IN area? I can tell you what I have/

Yes,I'm Galen's youngest daughter.I have fond memories of Dave's family when I was real small.Obviously you know we haven't exactly kept in touch very well.Martha's dad's 3rd wife does geneology and has all kinds of info.I know she has books on Wayne county is presently running the Rummell side of the family.She doesn't have e-mail at this time,but Delmar should have a book she had printed up years ago on the Gethers family.

Hi all,

I'm looking around for the same.

However, I'm finding that the Gathers' who moved to New York from the Charleston, SC area (Johns Island), seemed to have the name Geddis prior to becoming Gathers. I know my grandmother, Evelyn Geddis had a brother, Elijah, who lived in Johns Island, SC. She also had sister's, Elizabeth, Rosa, and Jean.

Her father's named was Richard Geddis, who had a brother, Frank Geddis.

That gets me back to the mid to late 1800's, but it's still a bit unclear. Anyone who can add to this, please send me a note to dwayne_gathers@yahoo.com.

Regards.
