Comments

Mr. Gill,

Thank you so much for helping me find Cora Gifford's  family.  I found a picture of her as a young lady on Ancestry.  My maiden name was Gifford. She bears a striking resemblance to several of my family members.  I look forward to seeing if Cora is related to our family in some way.  Thank you again for helping me so quickly!

Sharon

Mr. Gill,

After further research, I determined that Cora May Gifford is my 1st cousin, 2 times removed.  We have the same 2nd great grandfather, Robert A. Gifford.  Without your help, I would not have made this connection.  Thank you again!
