as I wrote before this is my great grandmother. I am currently working on our family tree, and I thought I could get some information from your page. Great to see some Symms on here. Thank you for the information.
Your Gibson line is not the matching one to the Symms. If you would like I can give you that line. Or if you have any information I’d like to trade stories. It’s an interesting one!
