Your mail came through to me via rootsweb and I am intrigued. I'm not sure that you are related to my Weeks' but my mother was Minnie Ann Weeks from Weeks Mills, Maine. The original Weeks across the "big puddle" in our family was Leonard who came from England in the mid-1600's and lived in Greenland, NH. Some of the family eventually settled in Jefferson, Maine and were my forebears. There were many large families as attested by the genealogy book by Rev. Jacob Chapman which was published in the 1880's and entitled "Leonard Weeks of Greenland, N.H. and Descendants, 1639-1888." This book can be obtained through the New England Historical and Genealogical Society in Boston. You mentioned relatives in New York City and I know that in the 1900 Census I had a sister of my great grandfather and her two sons who were living there on 307 West 119th Street, Manhattan. However, I just realized her name was Rachel Weeks Kincaid and her sons were William and Robert Kincaid so I guess that wouldn't be a connection. However, you also mentioned a dead end in Richmond, MA. I currently live in Richmond, Massachusetts which is a very small town in the Berkshires and borders on New York State. I do not know of any relatives who were in this area but it is possible I might be able to find out some information for you given some time. And if by chance you meant Richmond, Maine instead of Mass. there is such a place and not very far from where my ancestors were so all things are possible. Would love to hear more from you.
