Hello, Mel Rich: About your Charles Rich: I phoned part of your message to the editor of Kinfolk, the publication of the Rich Family Association. She spent some time today looking for someone to fit your data, and is very intrigued by the whole story. There is another Mormon Charles C. Rich--the C is for Coulson--who was an high ranking officer in the Mormon church. He was featured in an article, "A Rich to Remember" in "Kinfolk", Spring, 1983, pg. 3-5. He is definitely not your Charles. The editor found no connection with another Charles. However with the intense interest of the LDS in genealogy and with your Charles as a member, there should be data on him in their records. Have you tried that approach? Someone here on the Rich List will be able to help you with that. The RFA has state representatives who help with genealogy problems in their state. I will send you the addresses of two from Utah by regular e-mail. This will ignore the fact that usually these people do searching for RFA members. Would you care to join? All the best to you in this search that has piqued our interest, too ML, Prod. Ed., Kinfolk.
