About this Web Site
We have realized that there may be dozens of people out there researching
the surname 'Gorby' and repeating each other's work over and over simply because
there has been no place for them to share information. We also realize that
there have been several attempts at publishing a Gorby Family book, some
a periodic basis with updated information, have it printed by a printer, then
find enough people to pay for a copy to make it economically feasible. Out
of these twin realizations has come the Gorby Family Web Site.
It is intended that this web site become the repository/clearinghouse for
all information pertaining to the Gorby Family, their Spouses and Descendants.
The domain name www.gorby.org has also been registered with the intent of
using it to host this site in the future, as well as protect the family name from
outside commercial interests.
With the addition of the Canadian-Irish web pages, this web site has taken
on the task of uniting all Gorbys (and Gorbeys as they spell it in New Zealand)
across the world into one single family tree. We are currently working
with family members or have made inquiries to Australia, Canada, England,
Ireland, Taiwan and New Zealand as well as in the United States to accomplish th
is goal.
At this date we do not yet know how the family tree of the US Gorbys ties to the family
tree of the Gorbys from Ireland and Canada. Resolving this question is one of our
priorites, and along that line we have requested whatever lineage information is
available on the Gorby Family from the College of Arms in London, England. But that
there is a connection we have no doubt, and we are constantly working to solve that puzzle.

Warning!
There have been recent mailings to Gorby Family members in the US by a company known as
Halbert's, 3687 Ira Rd, Bath, OH. This company claims to be marketing a "New World Book of Gorbys"
with
Gorby information compled from several different countries, or a "Limited Edition" Gorby
Family Book with family information from 1800-1997, and that it is a source of
valuable information. We strongly recomend that you do NOT do business with this
company. They have a history making misleading statements about the nature of the
information included in their books. This is NOT a book specifically about
our family.
