About the Project

The Gimblett Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Gimblett name, with variants of GIMLET, GIMLETT, GIMLETTE, GIMBLET and GIMBLETTE. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Gimblett name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Gimblett's), by time period (18th Century Gimblett's), or by topic (Gimblett DNA, Gimblett Occupations, Gimblett Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

Orphaned Profiles

There are a few 'orphan' profiles included in the study. It would be great if you feel able to adopt them.

• Orphaned GIMBLETT profiles on WikiTree
• Orphaned GIMBLET profiles on WikiTree

Roll of Honour

This is a page dedicated to those who were killed in the two World Wars of 1914-18 and 1939-45. A list of those who will be featured can be found here. Not all of these profiles are on WikiTree - can you add them?

Gimblett Founders on WikiTree

A Founder is someone for whom we have no parents - so the first in the line. This is a list of all the Gimblett (and variant) founders on WikiTree. Some of these may have parents listed in the biography and many of these may be able to be connected up to others. I need your help in sorting these out!
