GiblerFamily.com is a limited membership website for descendants of Rennie Vernon Gibler & Vonna Lucretia White, and their families.
I thought of starting this website as a place to share our family's photograph collection. Since working on the Gibler Family history and collecting documents and photos, I had an idea to scan all of the material and so to digitize the entire collection making it accessible for the Internet. There are some great old pictures of our many aunts, uncles and their children.
I have a collection of documents too. It is amazing how much information is available if you spend enough time looking for it. This website is a place where we can privately share our family's memories. Please join up and get involved.
To all our cousins
The website is not public, but private. Casual visitors to this site see only three pages - home, contact and join. Once you join, and login as a member, the hidden content is revealed. I have set up this site to exclude anyone who has no connection to our family.
The site is secure, designed to exclude strangers, and the biggest barrier to membership is the family connection section at registration. The information entered into the registration form is emailed to myself. If it is obvious that the membership request is legitimate you will be approved for membership and welcomed.
My vision for GiblerFamily.com is a permanent online repository of the Gibler Family archives. Just as the National Archives is working towards digitizing it's entire collection, and google is on a mission to digitize every book in every library, we should be doing the same with our family heritage collections. The old pictures and documents that we all have are at risk from fire and loss because they are only paper. Once they are digitized, we increase the chance that the material will be available to our children and our children's children.
