The information on these pages was entered using Family Tree Maker of Windows v5.0a. He had info on a Gorby from there, and I compared it to what was in Alva Gorby's book, and offered him more info than he had. He was excited to learn about the Gorby Book and wanted a copy. Copies were not available, so this web site became my alternative to the printed word. I am willing to leave that to others who wish to go to the time and expense, and who like having hundreds of books stacked in their dining rooms ready to be mailed.
Most folks are mainly interested in their branch of the family.
I have been joined in this project by Terry Lee Gorby who was instrumental in getting the Gorby War Records page up and running in record time. Terry is now in charge of the Canadian-Irish Gorbys Web Site. Terry describes his father, Richard Nelson Gorby as a 'veritable Gorby encyclopedia', and his daughter was instrumental in getting him involved in Gorby genealogy. Again, much of the information contained on this web site is from the 1936 and 1978-80 editions of The Gorby Family book. Much of the information contained in the original was anecdotal, without being checked at the source.
