I have most of it. What I am looking for is the children born to Elias and Martha Richards after Stephen who was born in 1879. I believe he may have been my Uncle Sanford but not sure. As a child I was raised with all of Elias's children, my aunts and uncles but some must have used nicknames. My grandfather William had sisters named Hester. Oasie, Georgie, Lizzy, Nancy etc. I don't know if they were born after 1879 or if they are one of the older children called by something else. I have old reel movies of my grandparents and of their sibs. My grandfather used to say he had 13 children in his family. II am at a standstill again with this family. Any Ideas on how I should proceed in my search. As for Amos and Absolom my father,who is still alive, never heard about them so I think they may have passed away early in life. Keep me in mind if you get any new information. Thanks Judy Richards Nagy jnagy33530@aol.com
