I'm not familiar with your Richardson's, but "mine" were also involved in the shoe trades.

The Richardson-DNA project administrator does participate here (DeLores). I'll let her respond. Certainly, there are Richardsons who are not related to one another, for the reasons outlined below. But my instinct is that the creation of "Richard's son" names was long enough ago that it doesn't really pose large genealogical problems (except for those of us - not me! - trying to pushing our genealogies back from, say, 1350 to 1250.) To prove that two Richardsons in a county in England in 1350 were related and not both "Richard's sons" is too tall an order for DNA, I think. Of course, this is a problem in that one can waste a lot of time researching Richardsons who are not related but appear potentially to be related. DNA can prevent wasting time on false leads, however! And DNA can prove relationships of genealogical value for the last 400-500 years or so. I encourage all Richardsons to sign up for this - I beg you to do so. There are about 30 people signed up for the study now, and virtually all of them have found a cousin sharing a common ancestor. Except me. So I need more potential cousins to sign up! Please!!!

Since we are discussing adding the suffix "-son" onto names, I thought I might add that not all "Richard-sons" are related. When people did begin adopting surnames about 30 generations ago, the just picked one at random. Also, in some cases, their father's name might have been John, or Richard, or David, or Lars (Norway), and they just added on "-son". One way to get around this barrier is to use the DNA testing. It is really great. I don't know if there is one that is really up and running, but for instance, to test the Richardson line, the tester must be a male with the last name Richardson. The test matches markers and other scientifical information (I never have been good at science, so you'll pardon my 'elaborate' terms here) to determine which groups of Richardsons are closely related. As I said, this goes back to about 30 generations before us. Do we have a Richardson DNA spokesperson or moderator that's subscribed to the list?......

The number of participants has greatly increased, but I'm sure there is plenty of room for more! ----- Original Message ----- From: Xanadu92@direcway.com<mailto:Xanadu92@direcway.com> To: RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2004 9:16 AM Subject: [RICHARDSON] Richardson-2 DNA Project Bert, thanks for your concise explanation. And LISTERS, thanks for your interest. My mailbox is full this morning. As Bert reiterated, the Y-Chromosome genes (markers) are present only in the male gender. They are passed from father to son and so on in direct line of descent. Therefore, the TEST SUBJECT must be male. To participate in the Richardson-2 DNA Project, the TEST SUBJECT must be a Richardson male. Being a female Richardson descendant, it was necessary for me to persuade a cousin to be the TEST SUBJECT to establish the DNA results for the project. Participants in the Richardson-2 DNA Project, reside, literally, from "coast to coast." The Richardson-2 DNA Project is a GLOBAL, world wide project. The whole POINT of the project is to PROVE ancestry using DNA. All too often the traditional paper trail just simply vanishes. When traditional research avenues vanish, far too many folks are left without an avenue to prove their ancestors beyond a certain point. We welcome international participation; all U.S. citizens have an immigrant ancestor in their heritage. We all want to learn from whence we came. DNA testing will be the ONLY ANSWER for many, many people. As Bert said, if you have questions about the project or the process, email me. I'll be more than happy to assist you. If you wish to participate by joining the Richardson-2 DNA project, click on the following link. Ladies, you may join the project as a participant by ordering a kit for a Richardson male.

A little clarification. The Richardson's in Vinton's Richardson Memorial were reportedly all from England. I didn't mean to imply that every Richardson hailed from that country.... Seems to me that I read Fitz is another indicator for son of, such as Fitz Randolph might mean son of Randolph. Would that make Fitz an abbreviation from a longer surname? ----- Original Message ----- From: Jack Butler<mailto:jabutler@comcast.net> To: RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com<mailto:RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 6:39 PM Subject: RE: [RICHARDSON] origin of Richardson name Yep, and my wife's Richardsons were ALL in Scotland (she still has living 2nd cousins there) and she has them documented at least back to the 1720s. The point being that - and no offense is intended - if you are looking for a single source of immigration from Europe to America or a single source anywhere of the surname, you are wasting your time. Because the name is a patronymic - a surname based on the father's first name, it is totally possible for multiple Richardsons families from the same county/parish to be unrelated. Son/Sen does, indeed, mean son of and it tended to be used by the Scandinavians and their descendants - and there were lots of those in the early British Isles. Napolean forced the Dutch to start using fixed surnames in the early 1800s, but my wife's Norwegian ancestors were still using patronymics when they came to America in the mid 1870s. Her great grandfather, Nils Sanderson was the son of Sander Oleson. Also, Fitz may be thought of as Irish these days, but it came to England with the Normans. And for what it is worth, I read somewhere that Richard - the base name for Richardson - is an old Saxon/Germanic name.

Research of the surname Richardson reveals it to be of Norman descent. The name appears in England from about 1066 and its history is prominently woven into the colourful tapestry which is an intrinsic part of the history of Britain. Professional researchers used such ancient manuscripts as the Doomsday Book (compiled in 1086 by William the Conqueror), the Inquisition, the Ragman Rolls, the Wace poem, the Honour Roll of the Battel Abbey, the Curia Regis, Pipe Rolls, the Falaise Roll, tax records, baptismal, family genealogies, and local parish and church records to establish that the first record of the name Richardson was found in Cheshire in 1067/68 where they were descended from Hugh d'Avranche, Earl Lupus, Earl of Chester if Chester who held one of the most highest domains in the whole country.

Has anyone traced forward from HUGH d'AVRANCHES as this is where the name RICHARDSON came from !!!! INFO BELOW.. Regards Peter Richardson (Freeman of Chester) Melbourne. Australia. Hugh d'Avranches, 1st Earl of Chester (died July 27, 1101) was one of the great magnates of early Norman England Hugh was the son of Richard Goz, viscount of Avranches in the far southwest of: Normandy A former province of north western France on the English channel; divided into Haute-Normandie and Basse-Normandie Normandy, and inherited from his father a large estate not just in the Avranchin but scattered throughout western Normandy. Hugh became an important councilor of: William Duke of Normandy. He contributed 60 ships to the invasion of England, but did not fight at Hastings , instead being one of those trusted to stay behind and govern Normandy. The decisive battle in which William the Conqueror (duke of Normandy) defeated the Saxons under Harold II (1066) and thus left England open for the Norman Conquest. After William became king of England, Hugh was given large grants of land, and then, in 1071, was made Earl of Chester Hugh spent much of his time fighting savagely with his neighbors in Wales One of the four countries that make up the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland; during Roman times the region was known as CambriaWales, in the end subduing a good part of northern Wales and the island of Anglesey An island northwest of Wales Anglesey. In time Hugh became so fat he could hardly walk; he is often referred to as Hugh the Fat. He married Ermentrude of Claremont, by whom he had one son, Richard, who succeeded him. Richard married Matilda of Blois, daughter of Stephen, Count of Blois and Adela, a daughter of William the Conqueror. Both Richard and Matilda died in the White Ship Ship disaster (1120), and he was succeeded by his first cousin Ranulph le Meschin, Earl of Chester. -----Original Message----- From: CM [mailto:clm@charter.net] Sent: Thursday, 18 August 2005 8:41 AM To: RICHARDSON-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [RICHARDSON] origin of Richardson name Does anyone know where to find the origin of the name Richardson?

My appologiea to all . It was not my intention to submit this type of file to genelogy lists. computers do what they are tole aand I clicked on the wrong list in error.

President Bush and Don Rumsfeld are sitting in a bar. A guy walks in and asks the barman, "Isn't that Bush and Rumsfeld sitting over there?" The barman says, "Yep, that's them." So the guy walks over and says, "Wow, this is a real honor! . What are you guys doing in here?" Bush says, "We're planning WW III." And the guy says, "Really? What's going to happen?" Bush says, "Well, we're going to kill 140 million Muslims this time and one blonde with big tits." The guy exclaimed, "A blonde with big tits? Why kill a blonde with big tits?" Rumsfieldturns to Bush and says, "See, I told you no one would worry about the 140 million Muslims".

These 2 files are generally concidered to be accurate. I have 2 more generations back but they're speculative at best.

The same deficiency exists in a similar list, made one year after. The first notice we find of either of these brothers, is dated Feb. 21, 1635-6, when Mary, the wife of Thomas Richardson united with the church in Charlestown. Samuel and Thomas Richardson joined said church the 18th of the 12th month [February], 1637-8; in consequence where of they were admitted freemen of the colony, May 2, 1638."
