Gibson's In Scotland

[thecelt]

I realize this is an old thread but I am a Gibson who is also doing family research. I am at a dead end with my paper trail with Robert Gibson b.1825 Ireland, although I don't know where. He married a woman named Ann, and emigrated to America (New York) most likely in the late 1840's. Based on surname history I suspect he made it to Ireland by way of Scotland during the plantation period, but I don't know for certain. I have had my DNA tested and belong to the Gibson surname project but I don't have any close DNA matches yet.
