Find Ancestors

pm also received from Edwin.

Thank you for your reply i have had no success in finding out where Richard was born or anything on his Parents. but i was informed a while ago that he may have come over from Ireland and also i have just had my DNA done and it came back that i was 21% Irish which would fit in with that scenario as i know that no other Ancestors came from Ireland. Richard was my G.G.G.G. Grandfather. Regards Edwin.
