What fun! I'm delighted to have more family! I've only gotten into genealogy since this past spring when a teacher at my daughter's school asked about my last name. He has purchased a home in the Cincinnati, Ohio area still called the "Kibbee House". He wondered if there was any connection. At the time, I replied that my father-in-law is from Ohio...he gave me some info regarding the lineage of the Kibbees that owned the Ohio house. I still have it but have been unable to establish a link between those Kibbees-Kibbys and us. My husband didn't know his great grandfather's name so, intrigued, I wrote to the Social Security Administration to get a copy of the original application made by Clarence to get a SSA number (it had his parents' names). I received that copy 2 days ago. That's how I knew to respond to your inquiry. It's terrific, I have to say. You have really gotten serious about this research. I haven't been in it long but am amazed at the number of Kibbys out there. Is your dad still alive? Do you have siblings? I know that my father-in-law has one brother that Dave says lives or lived in Georgia. Dave says that his uncle's name is Jack (nickname for John?). ALso, he thinks his uncle has 3 children but doesn't know more than that. I welcome any info on the family as I think it would be terrific for us all.
Where do you live in FLorida? We live in Cooper City, Florida. Could we be neighbors as well?? Dave has been in Florida for almost 19 years. My phone number is
