Gibbar Census

Pius Alfred Gibbar and

Mary Ambrosia (nee Kline) Gibbar


~ Maternal Great Grandparents ~

The following census pages follow the history of PIUS ALFRED GIBBAR and MARY AMBROSIA KLINE, our maternal great grandparents, beginning when each of their names first appear in census records in 1870 and concluding in 1910, the last year for which either of them appear in the census records.

Note that there is no census record for 1890, as the majority of that census was destroyed by water damage.

Included for each census is the full census record, as well as a map of the county indicating the township in which they lived at the time the census was taken. Misspellings of names on the census information record are frequent and are often due to inaccurate transcriptions of the original census documents​ as well as enumerator error.

The family is highlighted in gray. Additional, lighter highlighted areas indicate the households of close relatives.
