Anna Nelson and John Gibb with Elizabeth


Birth

Anna Nelson was born on July 11, 1875, in New York to Margaret Gohl, age 20, and Dethlef Nehlson, age 23.


On May 19, 1889, her mother, Margaret Gohl married George Anelson Scheiner.  It is unclear what happened to Dethlef (also known as John Nelson).



Marriage

Anna Nelson married John Adam Gibb in Kings County, New York City, New York, on February 4, 1894, when she was 18 years old.


Children

John Daniel Gibb was born on October 26, 1894, in Kings, New York.

Elizabeth was born on August 4, 1899, in Queens, New York.

Anthony Joseph was born on August 9, 1908, in Brooklyn, New York.

Anna had two children that did not survive:

Magdalena was born on May 8, 1898 and died on May 9, 1898.  Her cause of death was congenital heart disease and odemia on the brain.

Sometime before 1900, Anna lost another child.  No records found so far.

There is no record of her death but based on the Social Security application, it is assumed it was around July, 1963.

Sometime between 1910 and 1915, Anna left her family for reasons unknown.  There is a large gap between 1915 and 1930 where we lose track of her residence.  More research needs to be done.
