Welcome to the Ricks family history site!
After many years of following my wife to cemeteries, libraries, genealogy societies and many other places around the world, I finally decided it was was time for me to start my own family research.
This site is a collection of historical data that is continually evolving thanks to the help of family and friends, and has been created with the hope of preserving the memories of my ancestors. All photographs and document images displayed on this website were either obtained from public libraries, local record offices, local family history societies, local museums, or from contacts made through genealogy forums. Research history notes were compiled following visits to the repositories mentioned above.
When I have time I enjoy researching and publishing this information on the website. Look around at the information. I will try my best to keep it updated. You will need an account to view any information associated with living people. If you would like an account you can register here. Feedback and suggestions are always encouraged.
