These Riggs brothers and their wives ran the school and I am attempting to find them. They must be in their 80's or perhaps 90 by now. If you have any information about them or perhaps Tom and Grace's children I would love to hear from you. Tom Riggs was an amateur photographer and woodworker and took me under his wing and taught me how to make things in wood in the basement shop of the school. I still have a bowl I turned on the lathe there. Now I am a professional woodworker and would love to thank him for the attention he gave to me. He and his wife were very kind people and I miss them.

Now broadened to discover all main Riggs families. Two have been identified so far. Project goals: 1) To collect a wide sampling of Riggs YDNA to determine the main Riggs families in the US - in fact, worldwide. (2) To determine "Edwardian" Riggs family members, in particular - that is, descendants of Edward Riggs who immigrated to Roxbury MA in 1633 from England. Unfortunately as we all know, much of the papertrail has been unfortunately lost through the decades forever that could assist us in knowing how the Riggs family lines connects to the early Riggs families. This project will clearly demonstrate the power of DNA testing to help prove paternity issues where clear documentation is lacking. If you carry the Riggs surname, consider joining the Riggs YDNA group study so we can with certainty connect the Riggs families lines through today's available DNA science. This study could lead you to the breakthrough you have been looking for. The YDNA test total cost is $169 ($2 for postage).
