Dear Wendy, I was facinated by your message. I have been trying to trace
(half heartedly so far) the Richmond side of my family. To be honest I
haven't really done things the proper way. My grandfather Arthur Richmond
was born in Chicargo I in 1887, he died in Leeds in England in 1962. His
father was a Henry Richmond who was involved/ owned a company in some form
of metalworking/ foundry work. I know little more than this . I know that I
need to find records and work backwards but when I saw your message I
wondered!!!
