Hi, I'm searching for any distant relative who has the Kirby genealogy. My great grandfather Everett Kirby?

Question

1920 Census District 22, Union, Gibson, Indiana (census date January 12, 1920)

Everett Kirby, Head, Age 28, Born Indiana, both parents born Indiana, Married, White, Male,

Synthia Kirby, Wife, Age 27

Raymond Kirby, Son, Age 5

Alice Kirby, Dau, Age 4 4/12

Dorthy Kirby, Dau, Age 2 10/12

1910 Census District 14, Patoka, Gibson, Indiana (census date April 15, 1910)

Albert Kirby (head) age 40

Martha J. Kirby (wife) age 42

Children (age) are: Everett E. (13), Richard M. (8), Walter (5), Paul M (3/12)

This is all the info I've been able to get so far. I've searched in many libraries throughout Central Indiana, but with no luck. Yeah, I live in Michigan so its hard to get down to Indiana. he married a Cynthia Miller.

If any of my distant relatives read this, and have lots of information on the genealogy of our Kirby family, I'd appreciate it if they would be willing to share it with me. You can send whatever you have to my email at [e-mail]. thank you so much.

You might try a post on

or

You have to register - it keeps the trolls out - but it is free.

http://www.tedpack.org/goodpost.html

has some arguments for and against asking people to e-mail data instead of posting it.

http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/index.html

has some collections on-line. That way you can "go to the library" from home, in your underwear, at 4 in the morning.

RootsWeb has mailing lists for the Kirby surname and Gibson County. Write if you'd like links so you can join.

Best of luck!

Rootsweb has a great many surname boards that are free.  Also use the search engine to look for kirby surname message boards.  This ought to bring up a great many more besides just rootsweb.
