larzus replied to smittendot12's discussion Richardson in Hereford in the group Herefordshire Genealogy"I quite enjoy this sort of puzzle.
I notice in the 1871 census there are some Richardson children in the Hereford Union Workhouse, being John born 1859, Elizabeth born 1862 and Ann born 1865, all orphans born in Hereford. There is also a Henry…"

Fitzgerald of Geraldine near Limerick

Robert led an adventurous and influential life in various important positions of state in Trinidad and New Zealand before settling in…See More

Namibian record sources

This is a challenge I couldn't resist. :)My friend is currently learning all he can from living family members but soon we will need other resources.The ELCIN (Evangelical and Lutheran Church In Namibia) seems to be the principal source of records. They came to the country in 1870.If anyone knows of any more sources, do post them! I am going to scour the missionary accounts which can be found on various church websites.…See More

I am looking yet again at all we know and hoping to make a breakthrough.There are several Richards men of about his age born in Ilford and some others born in Barking. They seem to have occupations of a similar nature to his - primary producers not…See More

- I got started researching my family history ......
- Aged ten and spending a Christmas holiday interstate with grandparents I had never met before. They lived in an old isolated farmhouse built by their father (and in-law) before his marriage. They had lots of memorabilia to show me and little else to do. It was truly fascinating.
- I have been doing genealogy since ....
- On and off for about thirty years.
- We all have them - my biggest brick wall is .......
- Mary Morgan, mystery wife of Robert Brown my ggg grandfather, in Tasmania. Ten children 1856 to 1879, all same mother. Still seeking her date of birth, marriage and death.
- By joining Looking 4 Kin I hope to .....
- find new places and sources to seek information, and find other people interested in this all-absorbing hobby to chat too (and give my immediate family a respite)
