My Family Tree

It only makes sense to provide details of my own family tree first before any other Richardsons. The following is the result of a lot of research into church records, scouring online sites for clues, and following them up wherever I can.

As it appears to be common practice amongst family trees on the Internet, any relatives still living are marked as such rather than their details being giving out. Some names given without a birth or death date may still be alive.

So far I can trace my tree as far as back as James Richardson, my great-great-great grandfather (6 generations back). He lived in the townland of Fallalea in the civil parish of Killelagh. His son, William, would move to the townland of Crew in the neighbouring civil parish of Maghera, and most descendants would remain in that civil parish or the neighbouring civil parish of Kilcronaghan.

This family tree can be taken as concrete and backed up by sources, with no speculation or flaws in it, other than at the very start where I state who James's wife may possibly be.

If anyone can trace their own ancestry into the following or have relevant information then please by all means get in contact.
