Jennie, I have a *huge* Gibbel genealogy (1700s onward) - twelve

generations in 1994.

They're ancestral to " Bubb " - my large maternal family. Except

" Faler " above -- every one of the names you cite appears there, usually

heading large families.

Maybe we *are* related??

I don't feel any urgent need to pursue this, but if you want we should

take it " off-list " ?
