Hello, I need any and all help that I can get. I am looking for any info. on my Richardson family. My father Alfred Hughes Richardson b.1941 Aberdeen Wa. to Charles Sherman Richardson b.1922 d.1946 in the China Sea as a Merchant Marine, and Pearl Agnes Collar b.1922 Westlock Alberta Canada d.1991 Aberdeen Wa. My father was an only child, there was talk of him being a twin, and the other boy died at birth. Write to the state for your father's birth certificate. If he was born in 1941, the birth certificate should indicate if there was a multiple birth. Aberdeen is in Grays Harbor, but for births and deaths after 1907, you should write to: Washington State Department of Health Center for Health Statistics P. O. Box 9709 Olympia, WA 98507-0709 Info line 360-263-4300 or see the web site for vital recs for Washington State, http://vitalrec.com/wa.html It's a $13.00 fee to request a birth certificate, but it will have loads of information for you. Good luck. Susan
