A new comment was posted today on The Lost Family of Clark Gibson. The author of the comment was the granddaughter of Clark Gibson. Clark had been married twice, the first time to Margaret Coyle who, for reasons unknown, packed up her three children and moved back to Ireland. After Margaret’s departure, Clark married my Aunt Sophie Danko.
Eighty years after Margaret Coyle Gibson returned to Ireland, I found a message posted on the internet by Margaret’s great-grandson and was able to reconnect the family in the United Kingdom with the family in the United States.
The only reason I found the message on the internet was because I had begun to research Clark Gibson’s ancestry. The following report describes Clark’s family. I have deleted the names of anyone who I believe may still be living. IÂ have also listed this genealogy report and the reports on other family lines under “PAGES” in the sidebar.
