Ciao Tutti

I don't know why but it seems some on the list did not get my last message
regarding my belief in the certainty of Ritchins being the correct
interpretation. My reason are set out below.

>> Hello Joan
>> There is a RICHINS site in the Family heritage Series, titles 'Richins
>> Genealogy' and the URL was www.familyheritageseries.org/genealogy/d5.php
>> I extracted from it their rather dodgy view of the COOK family, dodgy
>> because they had Mary Richins marry the father of Sam Cook 1715; I've
>> just had a quick look through my hard copy stuff to see if I can find
>> the researcher who first suggested that Richens/Richins was the name,
>> rather than the Kitchen which I and others had interpreted. As usual it
>> wasn't readily visible!
>>
>> This is the view of the COOK and RICHINS link that currently obtains in
>> my file and I'm pretty sure most agree that this is possibly correct but
>> not proven in respect of Sam 1715s three marriages.
>>
>> I have no genealogical need to progress the line of Richins, so I hope
>> this offering is useful.
