Posted on: HOLMES Queries Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/surnames/h/o/HOLMES/queries/118 Surname: ------------------------- Hello; Where did you get your Irish data? I have Rippy's that supposedly came from Dublin...son of a rich resident there. However, I have never been able to find anything that resembled the name in the Dublin area and need to spread out my search. Thanks, Mary
