My Grandfather William Young Gibb was born in Dundee Scotland on October 14, 1885. His fathers name was James Gibb who worked as a ship rivetter, and his mothers name was Isabelle Mc kenzee (I think). They lived at 8 Albert St Dundee Scotland. I know some of the family moved to South Africa, when I do not know. My grandfather had a sister named Adelaide who eventually moved to New York as also my Grandfather. I know most of this to be true for I have his birth certificate... I was just in Scotland but the registers office was closed for two days because of a holiday. So I left disappointed....Looking for any family that might be out there....

James Gibb Family (In Ontario Canada)
The names you mentioned sound very familiar to me. My father (Robert William Gibb) has a brother (James Gibb) and their father I also believe was James Gibb, I never knew him as he had passed away before I was born. His wife had also passed away. I am told that my grandfather (James Gibb) came over from Scotland (not sure what area) and played professional soccer. Any information relative to this would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, James Gibb was my Great Grandfather, to my knowledge he never came over to the states, nor was a soccer player... My Grandfather, William Young Gibb did have a sister named Adelaide as far as brothers, have no Idea... My Grandfather lived with us and I never heard him mention any brothers. My Grandfather would have been 115 yrs old today... I do not know when my grandfather left Scotland but he did become an American citizen, DEC of 1917... That is all I know for now...
