Thank you. I will get on with this information and see where it leads me. I do know that the family name - Orrick - as far as my family is concerned, originated in England but I do not know when they came to Canada. I have been told that the family actually had two branches, both begun by the same sire. One was located in northern England and later one was begun in the London area. I understand that my side came from the London set. I have been told that an earlier Orrick was a seafaring man. I know nothing more than that other than that the name might have originated in Bohemia many years ago. So, again, thanks.
