Read your post: Have a grt-grt-grandfather named Fredrick gypin and was married to a Caroline Lee. Thier daughter Margaret Elizabeth Gypin (Born:2-7-74 Died: 2-10-944)was married to Pataleone Kerry. But that is all I know. I am also looking for more information.

Thanks so much for info. My dad, James, was youngest boy of Fredrick, but I think Caroline died and his mother and John's mother was her sister, maybe Peggy, who married a Kiley. I think I saw a school record at the Natchitoches Library for Elizabeth Gypins, I did not know that this was Margaret. There are a lot of Gypins around Alexandria, La.
I live across the river in Texas. Are you in the Louisiana area perhaps? My email address is dcpatw@sabinenet.com if you would care to correspond.

Hey Aunt Pat! I'm looking for our ancestors, too, and found that Margaret Gypins married Pantaleon Kerry on 01-21-1897; evidently she was a few years older than Jim F. I also found a "J.W." Gypins (could this be Joe or John?) buried with his wife, Emma (b:01/06/1880; d:04/07/1903) at Gorum Cemetery (in LA). His b:01/15/1875; d: 08/17/1910. use my old email, not this one. Still looking for Grampa's dad. Love, Nancy Mae.

Pleased to meet you! If Fredrick is dad to James Felix Gypins, then he's my grt grt grandpa, too. My dad was J.F.'s 1st born, Thomas Frederick (note spelling). Given the way our ancestors always seemed to name babies after ancestors, are you certain "Fredrick" is correct? Do you have any other tidbits of info about him? Before today, I didn't even know J.F. had siblings. And does anybody know why the "s" sometimes disappears?!

Hi Carrie,
A few of us have been working on the Gypins family for a while now. Jane Roche, in Colorado, is a Kerry cousin and she is working on it also. I have a lot of info and will email you.
