I found out that my 3 times great grandfather Horace Ritter, resided in Hopewell, Ontario in 1850. He also live next door to a John Ritter who was a couple of years older. I am wondering if they were related, and how I would find that out. Horace moved to Michigan, but I am not sure when. I can't find any record of his birth or his parents. Any info would be very helpful.
