Richard Hill commented on Sherry Hightower's group 'Alamo Defenders'
My biological father was a Richards. My great-great grandfather's brother was John Richards. John was among the Texas patriots executed by the Mexican Army at Goliad, just a few days after the fall of the Alamo.

Profile Information

What surnames are you interested in researching?
Richards, Hartzell, Franich, Harrier
What countries and other locations are you interested in researching?
United States, Great Britain, Croatia
What is your level of genealogy knowledge?
Intermediate Family History Researcher
For what reason did you start genealogy research?
I was adopted and began a mid-life search for my birth parents. A genetic genealogy test showed me that my surname was Richards. As I found my birth father's family, I got into genealogy as a means of connecting this new family to the three Richards men that I match. I now manage the Richards DNA Surname Project at Family Tree DNA. More recently I have begun to research my birth mother's line and both of my wife's parental lines.
