Is there anyone researching these names in Hants County? Or, does anyone know the origins of the name and whether the 'CH' variation is just a transcribing error? I have William Walter RICKARDS born in 1766, but don't know where. He married Ann SENTELL in 1783 in Falmouth, Hants County. Don't know when he died. Looking for his parents and where he was born, etc. Thanks, Virginia (Ward) Bergmann Researching Hants County surnames: WARD, MOSHER, CALDWELL, LOWTHERS, BERRY _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Hotmail.
