I am trying to find out info about my mothers family however there seems to be quite a few Robert Gillingham's. My family has told the story of how the Gillingham family came to america from england and settled on North island and Charity Island in saginaw bay. However I can only find information back to Robert L. Gillingham and his wife Viola. We do have records of the settling and ownership of the island, however I still cant track down who the first to arrive were. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. I also know there is some relation to the last name Edgar, how I am not sure, I only know this because my Grandmother Nancy Edgar Gillingham was named after a Nancy Edgar whom was related to the Gillingham family.
