Surnames: Banks Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Aa.2ADI/751.1 Message Board Post: My grandfather was Charlie Banks from around Bainbridge, Ga. He married a Lillie Mae McLeod and had children, Clyde, Margaret, Hazel, and Opal (my mother-born in the 1920s). Are these the same Banks? Also is Banks an Irish name?
