Alfred Emery Riness

  General Notes:

Hello there,

My name is Patricia Riness-Roller. At one time I was communicating with a lady in Canada about the Riness family but have since lost all email files. My grandfather was Emery Riness. He had two sons, Alfred Riness Sr. and Eldon Riness, and three girls. Pearl, Aldine and Ila. He married Inda Hall. My father was Alfred Riness Sr. who died just a few years ago. I am curious, do you know where Andrew's family came from? I see he was born in Canada, but I had always been told family originally came from somewhere in Ireland.


Thank you, Patricia broller@wvi.com
