Having some connection by marriage to early 1800 INNES, the name INNIFS intrigues me. Is that how it was really spelled, or has somebody taken the old method of writing a double "s" as "fs", and the name is really INNISS? Adrian

Hi Adrian Yes, FS is the old spelling for SS in the Inniss name, but as it changed to INNES on some records, I like to print it how it was listed. What is your Inniss connection?
