Good Morning, I now have more family members (a whole bunch more) for my
RIDDLE family.
One thing I must make clear is that Harry P. RIDDLE was my Father's
step-grandfather. He and
Laura Anna GOODALE LILES RIDDLE raised my father and he loved him very much.
I have most of my information from newspaper articles and a couple of
marriage licenses so I will
scan thru and write what is of interest...I hope to you too!! Thanks, Marie
