Richardson Family History
This part of the Richardson Family website is devoted to history of all the Richardson families of America. Most of these families are descendants of pioneers who settled in the American Colonies before they gained independence. We recognize that all the different Richardson families in America are not blood-related. However, we do share a common bond in our desire to preserve our heritage.
We hope to add some basic information on all Richardson families to help you learn more about our ancestors and for you to be able to trace your own direct family lines.
One of our most important projects is to gather and preserve cemetery records, tombstone inscriptions and burial information on our Richardson family. You are urged to take part in the goal to preserve information on our family's burial sites.
Visit the site often for new information and changes.
If you came directly to this page, be sure and visit the Richardson Family Club HOME page, the Richardson Family Queries section, the "Famous Richardsons" section, the Richardson Family Newsletter and our other sections. Click on "BACK" at the bottom of this page.
Only the sections with highlighted words are online yet. Be patient as our historian adds more records. We can afford only a limited amount of web space until our membership grows enough to support more so we cannot post large amounts at the same time.
This section will have a brief history of Richardson families whose roots were originally from the South. Bear with us as we work on it.
The Richardson Family Club is trying to establish the Richardson Family National Library as a significant collection of records and information in the hope it can become a central repository for our ancestors and future generations. With such a family library, descendants of Richardson families will no longer have to traipse all over the nation in search of our roots.
The Family Library will include copies of both public documents and private family records. Public documents are those which are prepared by local, state and federal governments, such as wills, deeds, estate records, military records, census records, tax lists, land grants and homestead records, etc. Family records include such items as family bible records, old letters, personal diaries, etc. Other types of records include cemetery tombstone inscriptions, obituaries, newspaper and magazine articles, published information from books, church records. In other words, if there is any kind of record on our family, we want to include it in our Family Library.
We strongly urge all descendants of the Richardson families to send us copies of any kind of records you have on your ancestors to preserve in the Family Library. In addition, please take the time to write down information about yourself and your family for as far back as you can, and send this to the Library also. Include full names, dates and place of birth, marriage and death; names of children and their spouses; names of parents, etc.
