No worries !  Its seems uncanny that in the past month I've run in to both yourself and this topic on a family I've been researching for over a decade with no prior contacts !

I am related to you too. Isabella and David are my 3x(?) great grandparents. Excited to see all this!

Berwickshire / Re: Records Before 1800 -- Gibson

Thanks everyone for your help...

I think this person is an ancestor to me on my great-grandmother's side from what I can tell:

I goofed up my great-grandfather's side. My great-grandmother is Jessie Ellen Gibson, and Johne Gibsone appears to be her greatxxxxx grandfather.

This is John Henry Gibson's side: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/9977-SGY

Can't figure out how to fix his tree.

Berwickshire / Records Before 1800 -- Gibson
« on: Friday 10 March 23 22:12 GMT (UK)  »
Hello All -

My relatives and I are trying to trace our ancestors back to Berwickshire. They moved to the United States (most went to New York then to Wisconsin) by 1840ish. One of my ancestors, Robert Gibson, was born in Berwickshire in 1817 and married Ellen Isabel Mahon(e?). Another ancestor on the opposite side is John Gibson, born in 1807 in Scotland and married Elisabeth Miller. Obviously it has become difficult to go farther back with such common names. Also, my great-grandmother had the same last name as her husband, Gibson, which adds to the difficulties. They were Presbyterians and married into families that bordered England, such as people from Northumberland (Northumbria?). We have all the records in the United States but can't get any earlier really...

Any suggestions to research online are greatly appreciated. I went to the Scotland archives website and the Presbyterian records are not available online.

TIA!
