Surname/tag: Scottish_Holmes
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
