Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/106 Surname: HOLMS, HOLMES ------------------------- Ric..I appreciate your help so much. I sent two e-mails your way this afternoon and both were returned to me as undeliverable...The information was quite interesting and now I wonder if my Holmes moved to Arkansas because of your family. The 1910 census lists Horace's occupation as "wholesale groceries"....maybe associated with the mercantile store? Horace's father..Thomas was born in New York...does that fit with any of your family members? Thanks so much for checking and responding...maybe someday I will find out more about this family?? Betty
