Eileen...

How long you been round here??
I've been around... but haven't posted much. I have some data on the Richmond's
in Ohio and much else I can pick from some other relations out there that have
found them. I had one Richmond family that moved to Cleveland... that I can
pinpoint... I gotta finish up some other bits... but I will get right back to
you. Need to look in the family tree... need to check the charts... fading
away... <G>

Hugs Wendy
