Hello, Does anyone have a copy of the FARRIS Coat of Arms? I had it once before...but I lost all my data when my computer had to be formatted just before Christmas....so I am trying to re-capture things I had. The Coat of Arms was one thing I really wanted....and also if anyone has any photos of any Farris Ancestors....I sure would appreciate getting those again. Luckily... another Farris researcher sent me back my family tree. " Below is my Direct Line. " If anyone has any other information....documents...or photos...ANYTHING at all...please forward them on to me. I would appreciate this SOooooo very much! I also lost my contacts so if you wrote to me once before...please send another email so I can put you back in my contact folder. I had some really neat information on the SHORT's & Flethcher's and other spouses of the FARRIS family that someone sent to me. If you are reading this...please contact me again so I can re-capture what I lost. HELP!! Thank You!
