Dear Maine Census Listers, I have found an Edmund Richards in the 1880 census with a son named John M. Richards who is 16. Could someone help me find the reference to this family in the 1870 census? Thanks in advance. I am still banging away at my brick wall (John Albert Richards, born either in 1864 or 1865), and the New England Genealogical Society couldn't find him him in a QuickSearch or in an InDepthSearch. So I have to try brick by brick. Turns out the records from Oxford County are pretty scanty for this period as well. And this Edmund doesn't even show up in the IGI. Oh well. I have some other really neat success stories, but my brick wall John Albert Richards still keeps me humble... Best, Jeff Richards Münster, Germany
