Genealogy Resources and Links

 Will We Do Individual Research?

The Rich Family Association was not established to perform original or individual genealogical research, but will publish family lines in the newsletter Kinfolk.

Many RFA members have extensive family genealogies which are not yet available digitally and there are members who do not use the Internet, so a ‘snail mail’ query to be printed in the RFA Newsletter, Kinfolk, may prove helpful. Write to: Kinfolk c/o the Editor, Liz beyus, PO Box 142, Wellfleet, MA 02667. Be sure to include your name, email address, street address and phone number.

You may also post your query to the Rich Family listserv — The official Rich Genealogy Forum (not affiliated with the RFA). To subscribe, send an e-mail message to: RICH-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word “subscribe” as the only word in the body of the message. You will begin seeing queries from other list members in your e-mail box. To post your own message, ask a question, or answer a query, send an email to RICH@rootsweb.com. To “unsubscribe”, just send an e-mail message to: RICH-L-request@rootsweb.co with the word “unsubscribe” as the only word in the body of the message.

We are happy to provide the following research and links to others’ research to assist you with your genealogical quest.
