<Whilst I enjoy reading all your comments, I am wondering if I am on the correct list as all my Richardsons so far are in England - not US. Can anyone suggest another list? Thanks> I'm working on this RICHARDSON line in England: WILLIAM RICHARDSON, b. abt 1775, m. ANN HODGSON 15 June 1805 in Workington, St. Michael, Cumberland, children. Hannah, John, Elizabeth, Mary, Dinah, William, and Jane. I think he was a mariner. Any connection? You are on the right list, but right now there isn't much action in English research, which I presume to be a temporary state. DeEtte in Kansas
