Early roots of the GIBBAR branch of our family tree date back to the early 1700s with the birth of our 7X Great Grandfather, Nicolas Guibert, in Schorbach, France.
The spelling of GIBBAR has changed several times, including: Gypper, Gipper Guber, Guper, Kypper, Kippert, Giber, Guiber, Guibert, Gippert, Guibber, Gieber, and - finally - Gibbar.
The first member of the Gieber branch of our family tree to arrive in Perry County, Missouri, highlighted in red, was our 3x Great Grandfather, Jean-Nicholas Gieber and his wife, Anna Marie Drouard Gieber, who arrived in New Orleans, Louisana on January 6, 1832. At the time of their arrival, she was approximately 5 months pregnant with our 2X Great Grandfather, Henry R. Gieber (Gibbar).
