HI Jill: Thanks for the offer of help with Charles Coulson Rich genealogy. I know that there is an association of his descendants. To explain "Kinfolk": it is the journal of the Rich Family Association of Cape Cod. It is published three times per year, Spring, Summer and Fall/Winter. It has either 32 or 36 pages which include research done by members on their ancestors, vital records--Deaths, Births, Marriages--Rich Family news, reports on the recipients of RFA scholarships and on the Isaac Rich Scholarship at Boston University. (Isaac Rich was a founder of B.U. and endowed a scholarship there.) We also use articles on "A Rich of Today," "A Rich to Remember", Computer Genealogy and most anything about Riches. The association address is P. O. Box 142, Well fleet, MA 02667. Membership is open to anyone with the surname, related to it, or just interested in it. We have members from several immigrant ancestors. Richard Rich an early settler on Cape Cod is ancestor of many members. Others include Nicholas Rich of Salem, John Rich (Johannes Reich) from the Palatine region of Germany, Balthazar Riche of Switzerland. This is not a comprehensive list and we have a lot of Riches searching for connections or for their own gateway ancestor, as those settlers in this country are now called. The RFA has an annual reunion on the third weekend of September. In recent years these have been held at Eastham, Cape Cod, MA. This year's reunion will be next Saturday. If you have further questions, I will try to answer, or find answers. Can you help Mel Rich who is searching for his Charles Rich? I hope so. His data so far are interesting and the editor of Kinfolk and I have tried to find connections for him, as you have seen from comments here on this list. All the best. Mary Lighthall, Prod. Ed. of Kinfolk.
