I'm visiting the US (to see our new grand-daugther in VA) and have found by chance this site. (We live in the UK)

I'm also trying to find my ancestors "Nile"

My father was Antonio Nile, and born in Gibraltar,
the British Colony in the South of Spain.

I was also born there, but we were taken to the UK during the war.

My Grandfather was Charles Nile, and so is one of my brothers. My Grandfather was Captain of the Port of Gibraltar
at around 1900's

My father left Gibraltar for Argentina, at the turn of the Century.
He was born in 1887, married there, and returned to Europe in about 1927, settling in La Linea, the nearest town to Gibraltar.

He was one of several brothers and sisters, who were scaterred all over the place, and have lost track of them.

The family word is that the Nile's originally came to Gibraltar from the Manchester (UK) area, but have never been able to
trace any of them in the UK.

There is a lovely Nile family in St Austell, Cornwall, UK, but we can not find any common ground.

Can anobody shed any light ??
