google maps says ... Delaware Pennsylvania is a small town just outside Philadelphia ... I thought they were just two different states in the USA ;)

you must know something about this Ricky ... for starters was his real name Richard ? his parents' names ?

it is very difficult to trace people in the USA in the last half of the 20th century because records are not available to the public

where have you looked ? the telephone directory is a good place to start

if you search for Nelson in Delaware PA it suggests Delaware Township and then gives results in Transfer PA


here is a link

http://www.whitepages.com/dir/delaware-township-pa/nelson

there are of course very many results

interestingly the first two on the list are Richards ... perhaps it reads minds too ;)


is Ricky a relation of yours ?
