I am looking for information on Richards from Massachusetts in the 1600s. I believe my GG gf Charles Richards was likely born there and moved to Nove Scotia where he married a Whalen.  I found once a family tree on line that showed this branch of family but alas I can not find it again.  Does anyone have any info on this family tree

DNA testing revealed that I was a Richards and confirmed my biological father 25 years after his death. The whole story is revealed in my new book, "Finding Family: My Search for Roots and the Secrets in My DNA." Preview it at Smashwords, which has all the eBook formats. Read reviews at Amazon, which has the printed book and the Kindle edition.

I have done my mtDNA...and I am the T2 haptogroup. Elizabeth Richards (abt 1803-abt 1870) was my 2nd great grandmother. She was born in Kentucky (probably Adair county) and Hickory county, Missouri. Her husband was Green Luttrell. Her parents Leonard Richards Jr. and Nancy Symes Northcott. Things get rather fuzzy here. Any cousins here?

I'm looking for information on my paternal great grandmother's lineage. Her name was Daisy Mae Richards and she was born in 1881 in Lackawanna, Pennsylvania (she married Wilmer Atkinson Tillinghast and died in 1965 in Santa Rosa, CA). Her father was Horace P. Richards -- I believe Horace Peter Richards was his full name, though I'm not 100% about the Peter -- and her mother was Clara Austin. She had a brother called Jay, and a sister named Lottie whose married surname was Philips. Both of these siblings remained in Pennsylvania after Daisy relocated to Sonoma County. That's about the gist of what I know. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!

Our Richards family is traced to Robert G. Richards, born 1819 and in Cornwall England.  He was married to Grace Tonkin.  His son, Robert Richards, came to America on 1864 to the Calumet MI mines.  He married Ellen Giffin in 1868 at Hancock MI.  Ellen was from Antrim Ireland.  They had 7 children together and eventually moved to Minnesota and farmed.  I am looking for records on the first Robert G. Richards to verify his birth and death in England.

I'm new to this site. I'm hoping to get evidence for Randolph RICHARDS, born 1830, married Laura Louisa Greene 1857 in Cincinnati, OH and died 1870 in Cincinnati, OH. 1850 Census has his mother as Mary w/sisters Eveline and Caroline; I believe his mother was Mary Penn and his father was John Richards.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@Claire : I'm a direct descendant of Jacques Nason dit Ritchot. He was the son or Richard Nason (who died during the attack of Sturgeon Creek) and Shuah Colcord. Jacques was taken to the Abenaki mission near St.Francois du Lac (co. Yamaska) and later bought by Mr Hertel who placed him in the Crevier family. Jacques Ritchot married Elisabeth Dubois.in 1703. I have collected all the descendants of my ancestor. All of them are accounted for at least up to the early 1900s. I can say, without any doubt, that your Peter Richards, b. abt. 1787 in St. Thomas, West Indies is not related to Jacques Nason dit Ritchot.

Jaquae:
My Richards passed through Maysville, Mason Co., KY about 1796 on their way to Ohio, then Illinois. Started in VA.
I am thinking we need a comprehensive database of all Richards in the US (world?) and link as many DNA tests as we can get to it. Could I get you to send me more detail on that section of your Richards line, perhaps in gedcom format?
Let's keep in touch.
