Surnames: Simes Wright Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/JiB.2ACE/634.1 Message Board Post: I noticed the surname of Sims on your email. There were a number of spellings of the surname Sims in Grimes County, e.g., Sims, Simm, Simes, Simmes. My name is Sandra Young and I'm the granddaughter of Isaac Lee Simes, son of Robert Simes, Ignacius Simm.... Have you had any success finding the book Fanthrop? If you're looking for information on the Simes family, there is a good deal of information in the out of print book titled Our Hometown: The Bedias Story. There is a contact person on this website who will be willing to copy excerpts for you. Thanks, Sandy
