Russ: I had a cousin send me some pictures of her Riddell family and I have a picture of boys that are twins and she has no idea who they are. They must be Riddells because it came from her fathers album he was Samuel Joseph Riddell the son of Richard L Riddell b. 1835. Samuel Joseph was born in 1891 in Florida Mo, and died in Macomb IL in 1950. He is the grandson to Sameul Riddell who was b. in 1790 in Maryland(or who knows where) according to the census. I see all these names being flashed on the screen and I have the majority of them in my line but can't make a connection. Thats amazing.
