I’m the son on Harrel David Gilbreath and grandson of
Barry Gordon Gilbreath. I’ve traced back to Spanish American war to my great x3 grandfather John C. Gilbreath who fought in the war. My great grandmother was Mattie O. Tate Gilbreath, I have her family bible. I’m always looking for ancestors of my family and the family tree. I have much more than I can list including photos of relatives dating back to 1800’s civil war and Spanish American war veterans and relatives. My brother Brian B. Gilbreath 1965-1993 was in operation desert storm, my father David Gilbreath in Korea and my grandfather in Japan in ww2. My grandfather was from Resaca, ga , I have relatives in Texas also.

PS. My 3rd Great-Grandfather, Clarkson Galbreath, fought with the 58th Alabama Rgt, Company G and was killed at Chickamauga. That's pretty close to where you live, right? CGK

Hello:
My family traces to Angus Galbraith 1744 in Glen Orchy, Argyllshire, Scotland. He immigrated to Robeson County, NC (died 1825).
My family is headed to Culcreuch Castle in July. I'd love to know more to see while we are visiting Edinburgh. I hate I just missed your last reunion.
For those interested in Civil War relations, my three great uncles were in the 61st GA infantry. They are grandsons of Angus and their father was Hujhia "Hugh" Galbreath.
Galbreth, Angus (named after grandpa); Galbreth, Henry; Galbreth, H. A. Killed at Monocacy, Md., July 9, 1864.
My Dad's family resides in a Sharps Spur just south of Vidalia, GA. My great grandfather was Daniel Washington Galbreath (brother to the above great uncles). Daniel's son was grandad George Washington Galbreath. My Dad was Herbert Dene Galbreath. All are buried in Galbreath cemetery on one of 6 roads named for Galbreaths.
Admin reply: Hello Dodd,
Thank you so much for signing our guest book. I am so sorry that you just missed our Nashville Gathering. We had a wonderful time. We would have loved to meet you. I have passed through Glen Orchy several times. Be prepared to happen up on stunning waterfalls and a beautiful, peaceful glen. I assume you will go to Culcreuch Castle while you are there. I also recommend checking out the Dumbarton fort/castle as well. We have a rich history there. Stirling Castle is a must-see as well. Thank you for sending your family history. I know we have information on your line as I recall discussing Hujia Galbreath with a member who found us at Grandfather Mt Highland Games a couple of years back. He ended up joining the association and I believe we were able to help him fill in some missing pieces. I hope you will join the association as well. We would be delighted to have you. I hope you have a marvelous time in Scotland. You may have trouble locating more than a scarf or pin in our tartan and crest. It is surprisingly rare over there. Safe travels and I hope you will join us,
