Hi there
I would be interested to hear the replies you get on this subject as my
name was Babb. I recently sent a request to this list regarding my gt
grandfather at Penarth. The family originated from Somerset and Devon but
was in the Merchant Navy. If you get any info on this variation I would be
grateful for a message.
Thanks again, Carol in Victoria, Bc Canada

Subject: Seeking a favour - BIBB
Hi All,
I've just been contacted by Ben BIBB, who is wondering if his name and mine
(BEBB) are variants from a common root. I've not seen BIBB in Wales (but
then I haven't looked!). Ben's family have been in Virginia since early 17th
century, but they have a possible Welsh origin.
I wonder if anyone living in Wales or bordering areas who has come across
the name
(or would be willing to have a quick look in the local phone book)
would be kind enough to get back to me, so I can get an idea of the
distribution and suggest where he might start looking.
Many thanks,
Malcolm
