First Generation  Next


1. Michael RICART [47965] was born on 4 Apr 1733 and died in 1798 at age 65. Another name for Michael was Michael RICKARDS.

General Notes: a) One theory as to the origin of Michael Rickards is that he was a Huguenot fugitive from France, born Michel Ricart, but changing his name upon marriage to Mary Alder at St Georges Church, Hanover Square, St Marylebone, .London.
b) Living in Palermo, Sicily today is Riccardo Rickards (born around 1950), son of Tullio , whose origins go back to the English Consulate General of Messina - Joseph (Giuseppe) Rickards of the 19th Century. Riccardo's grandfather (also named Riccardo) had three brothers, all of whom were killed in the Messina earthquake of 1908. Riccardo has a son Giorgio, born in 1998. We are still trying to confirm the link..
