Ron- Why don't you do a Google search to see if there is a Richardson DNA study going on? If so, join it-that would give you a bigger chance of having others who match. My brother did the swab for our Welty branch, and we joined the Welty research group, using their DNA research company. We were able to identify our 2nd gr-grandfather, who was suspected, but not proved.
