Dear Sharon,
Thank you for your interest in the Rigall name.If you do a search at www.google.com, you will find that there are over 400 web pages from around with Rigall mentioned in them.Places like England, Spain (Catalunya), Australia, and even remote areas (like Texas).
I recently sent an e-mail to a fellow in Catalunya, who actually replied.The Rigall name goes way in that area.It seems that there was a prominent Rigall monk or abbot around 1000 A.D. in that area.
Maybe one of them migrated to England between 1000 A.D. and 1700 A.D.It's a long shot, but lots of things can happen in 700 years.
I also am a Rigall.Small world, huh?
Sincerely,
Mr. E. Rigall (that's "mystery" Rigall, in case missed the word play)
