Richardson: The Story Carried in a Name

from $85.00

Richardson: The Story Carried in a Name is more than a book—it’s a journey through centuries of history, heritage, and identity. Every Richardson carries the memory of an ancestor named Richard, yet the surname tells a story far greater than any single life. From its origins in medieval England as a patronymic meaning “son of Richard,” Richardson has stood as a mark of lineage, resilience, and enduring family legacy. This book uncovers how one name has traveled through time, shaping and connecting generations along the way.

From knights and farmers to merchants and craftsmen, the Richardson name has been carried by those who left their mark on villages, towns, and cities across England. As families grew and spread, the name crossed oceans, taking root in America, Canada, Australia, and beyond. Each Richardson story reflects courage, adaptability, and the timeless human drive to build, protect, and preserve family. Along the way, you’ll encounter remarkable individuals whose lives illuminate the lasting impact of a single surname.

Whether you are a Richardson by birth, marriage, or curiosity, this book stands on its own as a meaningful exploration of your roots. It is both an unforgettable keepsake and a perfect gift for family reunions, weddings, anniversaries, or retirements.
