Titel: GIBSON, Nils (1833-1896) Swedish Mariner in Queensland
Skrivet av: Robert Jensen skrivet 2006-01-25, 17:33
Nils Gibson, his surname was almost certainly anglizised from Jepson or similar, was a shepwrecked mariner who ended up in early Queensland history. He was washed ashore in late 1859, records say that he was born about 1833 being the son of Martin Gibson (Martin could also be Mattis, Morten or Marten and then Jepsson or similar, indeed given the period his fathers real name probably was most likely Jeppe Mattisson/Martensson or perhaps Mattis/Marten Jeppson, hardly anything like Martin Gibson) & Ann Bengt (would be Anna Bengtsson or Bengts-daugther) also that he was born at Simrishamn. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone in Sweden could lend a hand solving this mystery.
