A group for those researching the Richards surname.The founder of this group manages the Richards DNA Surname Project at Family Tree DNA. While Y-DNA testing is recommended, it is not a requirement to join this group.
This gentleman is my ggg-grandfather. He was born about 1783 in Kentucky and was married to Nancy Syms Northcott. His daughter Elizabeth (b abt 1803 Kentucky and died abt 1870 probably in Missouri) is my ancestor. My mtDNA puts me in Haplogroup T2 which is reasonably uncommon. Not all males are tested for mtDNA but if you are male and were and are a T2...sure would like to chat.
