Geneology of Gig Harbor

The first genealogy study of Gig Harbor's founding families has been completed. The research centered on the records of individuals interred in Gig Harbor's historic cemeteries. It includes vignettes of pioneering families who grew the community between the years 1867 thru 1927 (as collected by the Gig Harbor Peninsula Historical Society and others). Together, these entries are an open invitation to living Gig Harbor residents to contribute their stories, correct the record, and complete the portrait of a town unlike any other.
