A number of RICE including Edmund RICE are found on my website at http://gedcomindex.com/Towns/usma0302.html for Sudbury and http://gedcomindex.com/Towns/usma0180.html for Marlborough, Massachusetts. Then you click on the links to get the GEDCOM files from the sites where they are hosted, load them into a new folder in whatever genealogy software you are using, and see if you add a new branch to your family.
