Our Story
I may not know you. You may not know me. If you've found yourself here, then we have at least one thing in common - our last name.
Everyone all over the planet has a name. It's just something someone gave you, then you kept calling yourself that name. It's just a title, isn't it? I don't believe it is.
Your name is not your own. It is a privilege. It is a legacy. It is a direct tie from you, all the way back to the beginning. "Hibler" is not just a surname. It is our shared heritage. It is our shared history.
One day a co-worker pointed out they had never heard my last name before. It got me thinking. How many Hibler's did I know? According the United States Census Bureau "Hibler" ranks #17,613 most common name in the United States.
I started the "House of Hibler Project" in 2021 as a means to archive and preserve our family history in order to preserve our legacy. I wanted to connect, educate, empower the rest of our family - no matter how distant.
