to hope please forgive the capital letters but my faris name has been spelled a million ways including one generation used this farriSS, FARis, Farris, FarrisS, for some reason we have discovered that our farris family thru the years changed the spelling everyway imaginable...............try to figure that one out, even i had 5 half brothers and sisters, their last name was Farris, while mine and my one brother is Farriss..............for the life of me I can not understand this And it is next to impossible to find my family history, especially since my brother and i are the only ones left. we do know that our father told us years ago that our original faris family came from Ireland, daddy was born 6-5-1898, in red river tx, his father willie rush farriSS married nettie chennault, willie was the son of Cowan and Mollie FarriS, we think all of them driffted to Texas from Missouri................so talk about a headache. good luck to everyone mary
