Elaine, Do you know when your grandfather was born? My Richards began somewhere in Wales, moved onto PA roughly around 1840-50's then to Colorado in the early 1880's and eventually made out to California in the late 1930's. They have really been hard to track down because the name is so common. Send what info on him that you have and we can see if dates, names, etc. match up. Thanks for writing...Heather
