I am a Richardson researcher like you. I was just adding to your statement: "I also found out that since I uploaded it to Rootsweb, it is showing in the Trees on Ancestry.com." Ancestry.com gleans information from the free sites on the internet. They have some of my research on their site that was taken from early queries. Fortunately, some of it is not correct. I also do not put my family research on any site unless I have to. I usually write directly to the person who requested information. Sorry to have bothered you. Nora

I wouldn't be too hard on Ancestry, after all they own and operate Rootsweb.com In my opinion Rootsweb is the most useful genealogy website on the web and it's totally free! If Ancestry makes any money on the data from Rootsweb, I doubt it approaches the cost to maintain hardware, purchase bandwidth, and pay the employees that keep Rootsweb running. Just my 2 cents.. I am not an employee nor a current subscriber to Ancestry but I do appreciate the great free service that they provide via Rootsweb.com NBActon@aol.com wrote: > I am a Richardson researcher like you.

Hi Gary, Yes, Rootsweb wrote back and explained what I had to do to make updates and corrections. Since I know my name and password, I go right to my tree. Like a dummy, I did not think to look at the address bar once I was there and then copy and paste the address. Duh, I usually do that all the time but for some reason, brain was not in gear this time.

If you originally sent it somewhere other than Rootsweb, and they are displaying a copy, then you must either update the original, or submit a new GEDCOM to Rootsweb. They're easier to use. Many of the other systems that display your GEDCOMs do not update the existing database, but rather, treat it as an entirely new entry. I did not realize that at first, and I have a database that is entered in Ancestry.com about 20 times. Very annoying when you think you've found multiple entries for an ancestor, and realize it is all the same info. Rootsweb will update the existing one, and display just one, unless you intentionally submit more than one. Might take a few minutes to figure out, but I recommend you stick with Rootsweb, if you're planning to send updated info.

Hi List, I have had several people ask about my Gedcom that I put on the Rootsweb page. On their main page just click on Family Trees. My Tree is called Great Families and the database ID will say j264. If you check it out and find any wrong info, or can fill in info that you do not mind me putting up on that database, please let me know. Your name will be given as credit for the information.

Does anyone know the family motto of Scottish Richardsons? I've found a crest on-line, but the motto is unreadable in its entirety. It appears to be three words, Latin? First word looks like Virtate -- web research on that and "family mottos," etc., haven't born results. Thanks, Richard Tennesen, Capitola, CA (ggson of Richard Richardson, whose parents were born in Scotland about 1810).

Does anyone have good info. on tracing Scottish Richardson roots? I' the great-grandson of Richard Richardson, born in Canada I understand, but whose parents were from Scotland. Richard was born in 1842, so his parents, whose names I don't know, would have been born ca. 1810. I' m planning a trip to Scotland in May, and would like to do some research while there. Thanks, Richard Tennesen, Capitola, CA P.S. -- Richard found his way to Kentucky, where, in 1869, married my great-grandmother, Charlotte (Gedge). They had two daughters: Blanche, and my grandmother, Mabel, who married Norwegian immigrant Jacob Tennesen, in 1900.

Sue, how do I get to your site, would just like to look through it as I think we are from a different set of Richardson's. I haven't looked at any genealogy since before Buddy passed away and the 1st of June will be two years since he passed away.

Hi List, It has been a long time since I have been on the list. I just thought I would let everyone know that I have uploaded my gedcom to Genes Reunited.

I've written to the list before. I have uncovered more information on my Richardsons: Robert RICHARDSON married Sarah ALLEN on 25 May 1832, Quebec, Canada Children born in Quebec: Amelia bap. 31 Jan 1834, d. 2 Sept 1835 William b. 5 Nov 1835, d 17 Dec 1921 (Indiana) Thomas, bap. 10 Dec 1837 Joseph, bap. 3 Oct. 1842, d. 8 Feb 1843 Sarah died 28 Jan 1843 Robert RICHARDSON married Harriet BIRCH on 20 Sept 1843 in Quebec, Canada children born in Quebec: James, bap. 14 Apr 1845, d. 9 Aug 1845 Robert, bap. 24 Aug 1846, d. 13 Apr 1847 Charles, bap. 28 Aug 1848 Henrietta, bap. 9 Apr 1851 Frederick, bap. 14 May 1852 Arthur Henry, bap. 19 Feb 1855 Alfred Edward, bap 9 May 1860, d. 31 May 1860 Alice Eliza, bap 11 June 1862 Of the 12 children who have been identified as part of this family 5 died in infancy. Up until now, I did not know about William's (my ancestor) sibblings. so, is there anyone of you on this list who recognizes William, Thomas, Charles, Henrietta, Frederick, Arthur Henry, or Alice Eliza as one of your ancestors? Thanks, Erica Voolich

Elenore, I may be mistaken, but at sometime in the past I thoughty you where searching for Branham surnames?

Just testing to see if my email is working. Is the Richardson list just quiet right now? I haven't had email on this list in about two weeks. Also I want to mention that Pape Mortuary in Illinois has added more names and updated some they already have. I was able to find Adoniram J.
