Message Board Post:
I was just looking up my family name online to see what would come up. I am getting
married soon, and I know my family came from Ireland/Scotland, as did my fiancee's
family. (surname Condry)
We are incorperating some celtic symbols and traditions in our wedding, and I wanted to
see if I could find out more about the details of where my family originated from. Just
reading all the posts from other people is very interesting, so I just wanted to thank you
for all the research ya'll have done, and also for posting that for other to see. I
have no idea which family of Carruth's I come from, and I have never met another
Carruth other than those in my family. I thought it was a pretty rare name, evidently not.
Our family (only to my great grandfather, that is all I know) lived and worked the land
off the Mississippi river in the delta of Arkansas, and I was born in Memphis, TN. Since
then, we have moved around AR,MS and TN, and I have been all over the country and overseas
and never met another Carruth. (I haven't been to Ireland or Scotland though) My
grandfather is 75, and his entire life he has dreamed of going to Ireland to see where we
came from. I hope I can take him one day.
Thanks again all!
