Hi Charlene,
My name is Brenda (my married name is Rishea) of Ontario, and I am married to Marc Rishea, (lest you confuse me with another Brenda Rishea who also lives in Ontario, and whose mother, Mary, just died this year).

I was doing some RISHEA family tree research today when I found your posting for Joseph Frederick Rishea. I have a fairly complete family tree for the Risheas going all the way back to the first ancestor to arrive in Quebec from France in the 1600s. IF you want to fill in your blanks, I'd be happy to help you do that.

The name was originally Richer-dit-Lafleche, but some families are named Lafleche, Fleche, Richer, or Rishea. The name was changed 5 times because you ancestors were illiterate and for every birth, marriage or death, the clerk wrote the name as he heard it sound.

If you wish to see the RISHEA/RICHER-DIT-LAFLECHE family tree, it is listed here: http://richerditlafleche.org/en/accueil.shtml
Then on the left, click on "family tree" and find your ancestor, Joseph Frederick Rishea alphabetically.

Also, did you know that you have other relatives living in Alberta? (If you're still living there). The family names are Deborah and Michael Vesterfelt, and Dale Theresa Ross, the 3 children of Veronica Frances Rishea. We used to be in touch but Veronica may have passed away by now. She had moved into a retirement home and we lost touch years ago.

I use Family Tree Maker 2008 software, so if you wanted to merge files, it may be possible if you use this program as well.

Well, I hope to hear from you soon.
Brenda
