Hillbillies & Vikings
This site is focused broadly on all descendants of John Denboe, an indentured servant who came to the Crown Colony of Maryland in about the year 1664. Also, it maintains a special emphasis on the descendants of John Denbow (1797-1862) and his brother Bazeleel (1795-1857), early pioneers in the hills of Southeastern Ohio, as well as the descendants of Jón Jónsson (1841-1934) of Dalasýsla, Iceland, who was an Icelandic immigrant to Canada and now has progeny throughout North America.
Edna Esther Gigax

Name Edna Esther Gigax Birth 26 Jun 1882 Zanesville, Muskingum, Ohio, USA - Ancestry.com. U.S., Social Security Applications and Claims Index, 1936-2007 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc., 2015. This source gives 26 Jun 1882 as her birth date, which I believe to be correct, several other sources say 26 Jul 1882. Since the former is based on an application that she presumable made herself, I tend to believe it is correct.
