This has truly been a cooperative work, one that could never have achieved the size and scope it has without the contributions of many people.
I am especially indebted to the following:
Richard Kenneth ("Dick") Dibble Here is a brief listing of who has provided what. If I have left anyone or anything out, I apologize, and I hope folks will provide additions and corrections. SOURCE CREDITS Richard Kenneth Dibble My father was the inspiration for the creation of this site. He provided most of the initial information to get this project started, connected me with other members of the family, and obtained very valuable resources, particularly on the Norwegian branches. Magaret "Peggy" Dibble Hanson Peggy tirelessly searched her own records and those of the Goodhue County Historical Society to provide information on Dibbles and their descendants from Lieutenant Jonathan Dibble of Connecticut up to the present. She was the first to provide information on Dibbles before Richard "Dick" Dibble of Cannon Falls, MN, and she took the trouble to shoot and send photographs of important Dibble locations. George A. Dibble III George maintains an email community of Dibble researchers. He has painstakingly documented his research, and has provided a clearinghouse of Dibble information collected by many people, including the pioneering work of Van Buren Lamb, Jr., the "godfather" of Dibble genealogy. His information has enabled me to compare and evaluate sources for information on the Dibbles from their arrival in North America up to the migration to Indiana. More recently, his monumental work of scanning all of Lamb's binder pages and notecards, and distributing them freely to all who ask for them, has made possible many recent updates to this site. Van Buren Lamb, Jr. From the 1920s into the 1980s, Van Buren Lamb, Jr. exhaustively researched the Dibble line, traveling to Dibble family sites and corresponding with family members, sending out thousands of queries to collect information. He carefully recorded the results on index cards, and published them in a genealogy magazine called "Your Ancestors". He is considered the most important source on Dibble genealogy. No one could work in this field without his help. Olga "Ollie" Morud Amundson Ollie Amundson provided extensive anecdotal and geneological history on the Morud and Halden families, most of which I have paraphrased, and some of which I have quoted, here. Cannon Falls Historical Museum This museum and its curator, Heidi Holmes-Helgren, provided a wealth of primary source information and publications that greatly expanded my knowledge of the details of the lives of the Dibble, Kowitz, Wilson and Coplin families. Goodhue County (MN) Historical Society The Society provided Peggy Dibble Hanson and me with invaluable information including obituaries, excerpts from history books, and a plat map of Stanton Township. Linda Dibble McCool Linda, a descendant of John Dibble of Connecticut's son Charles, early on provided a great many names and dates that appear on the "Indiana Dibbles" page linked to this site. I have since been able to verify most of it with official sources. Jolene Grabill Jolene, a descendant of John Dibble of Connecticut's son Henry J. Dibble, provided extensive information on the descendants of Henry's son William Dibble and his wife Lucy Kerr, including some of the writings of her aunt Sylvia Grabill. She has also generously provided family photos and considerable information on, and photos of, the Brush Cemetery in Stamford, CT. Sylvia Grabill Sylvia Grabill authored the story of the Kansas Immigrant Train used on the "Indiana Dibbles" page, as well as a family history going back to the 17th. and 18th. centuries. I have only used some of her work so far, but more may be added later. Bonnie Cattnach Bonnie is a descendant of Stephan Orzechowski, and has provided much of the information on that family. Marilyn Lamb Marilyn, a grandchild of Ole and Ella Morud, furnished a great deal of information on Morud descendants Jeff Cullison Jeff provided some of my first leads on the Indiana Dibbles. Wilma Lohide Wilma provided additional detail on Indiana Dibbles. Jennifer Warren Jennifer provided additional sources for the possible paternity of Jonathan/Jonathon Dibble by John Dibble of Bedford, NY. Dorothea Butler Macnamara Dorothea was one of the original sources of much early Dibble information archived by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Glee Stark Glee, a granddaughter of Glee Dibble Johnson, provided additional information on Glee and Vic Johnson and their descendants. Jo Edkins Jo Edkins has put together a tremendously valuable trove of information on the Robert Deeble line, "The early history of the Dibblee family", and it's all at: http://gwydir.demon.co.uk/jo/genealogy/earlydib/
