He says some Lebenise came to the britian with the Romans to battle England . anyway he is getting documentation on the name coming from Lebenon ??? If you bring up Irsh surnames on the web Farris/Faris/Faries/Ferris isn't there ? Maybe I'm wrong but worth checking out Pete Subj: Re: [FARRIS-L] Re: FARRIS-D Digest V99 #80 Date: 99-03-18 09:01:31 EST From: r2g2@phoenix.net (R2 International) Reply-to: FARRIS-L@rootsweb.com To: FARRIS-L@rootsweb.com Yes, Ferris is a Syrian/Lebanese name also. The only other Ferris family in my hometown was NOT Irish, but Syrian. Ms. Ferris Texas
