[Skipman]

Can anyone find anything on this man. a friend has a cigarette case with this name inscribed upon it. Also dated 1917. I can't find an obvious mic, can anyone find anything on this man? A link to any Ancestry page would be great.

Cheers Mike

Only just seen this. A C Tibbits was my grandfather. All the details are correct. You can see my tree on Ancestry with further connections. Would at the least be interested in a picture of said cigarette case...

Thanks for posting this
