McGibbon Register Report Nov 2005 This is my and my cousins' - work to date on the McGibbon Family of Delaware County. I did make every effort to take out names of living persons unless their information was easily posted (like in the 1920 and 1930 census); all other information is historical and footnoted. There are some private footnotes, but if someone is interested, he/ she would be able to contact me via email. --Catherine Maloney at [email protected] First Generation ———————————————————— 1.
