The goal of this project is to research Holmes families with ties to Scotland where the name appears to date from as early as 1314 - "On that ever- memorable summer day in 1314 many a Lang, Laird, Scott, and Holm, then, as now, the chief names in Kilmacolm , fought nobly for their country." - Kilmacolm: A Parish History p.23

I am very happy to join this project. I have recently been spending my time researching various Holmes families in Scotland focusing mostly on the period prior to 1800. I am looking forward to finding ways to share the information I have gathered.
