Hi new member with email address Dorman.Farris@gte.net. I tried to email you directly but it bounced back. I Saw your introduction on the FARRIS email list. Your email address is curious as my name is Faris and my sister married a Dorman. She has compiled the Dorman genealogy while supporting me in the Faris research. Her computer is down so I thought I'd contact you. I wonder if there is a connection. Lorraine daughter of Francis X. Faris (b. 1918) son of Walter A. Faris (b. 1883, d. 1948) son of George Kane Faris (b. 1848, d. 1918) son of James Faris (b. abt 1823, d. 1886) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?

I am looking for information on the parents of Frank James Ferris. Frank was born July 20, 1869 in Indiana and later married Viola Baggs and lived in Portland IN. They had 7 children. The children later changed the spelling of their surname to Farris. I have a detailed history of Frank's descendants, but I've hit a brick wall on his parents. Any info or leads would be greatly appreciated

It's been awhile since I posted my Farris line. I am at a total brick wall with them. They have to connect to the other York County, SC families, but I have no idea HOW.

Lived in Fort Mills, SC area 1870-1880. I have not located this family in the 1850 Census. Confusion as to the father's name. Rebecca's death certificate states her parents as Tom Farris and Lizzie Morrison. Dorcas Ann's death certificate states her parents as William Farris and Lizzie Morris.
