My home town is Ripon, Wisconsin and my dad's family immigrated from the Ripon England area in 1912.

Locations with same names is not uncommon at all. There are 91 WASHINGTON'S in the United States alone followed by 45 FRANKLIN'S.

On the viewing area for our news stations there are 2 towns that have the same name as 2 other towns. Plus there is a real small hole in the wall place that has 2 different sites that pop up sometimes when there is bad weather. It's not uncommon for one town to have rain forecast and the other be sunny and hot.

There are many towns in the US named Memphis, but the one that we are "sister" to is the one in Egypt.
