Stuart Gibbs: Hello, my name is Stuart Gibbs. Gibbs is a name that my great-grandfather was given at Ellis Island. He was very young. He was only about two when his parents brought him over. We don't actually know what the family name was before it was Gibbs. One day, I asked my grandfather what the family name had been. He said I don't know, I never asked my parents. I said why not, and he said I didn't really wanna bother them. So, there's a whole bunch of things that are lost in my family, like what our family name was and what country we were actually from. If you look at our history, we just magically appear as the Gibbs' in about 1902, I think. I don't know what it used to be, but I'm glad I've got the one I have right now.
