Dore Richmond, seems to fit a john W. Richmond, who married a Fife girl connected to my family, as his second wife according to his death certificate he was born 1828 (can&#39;t remember the exact date off my head) in Lebenon, Maine to a John w. and Mary. In the 1850 census he is married to a Mary E. (with children) and living in Rochester, NH and there is a John and Mary Dove/Dore(it is transcribed as Dove, but could be Dore) with other Dove/Dore children living in the same dewelling as John W. Richmond. John Dove/Dore is born 1801, given age and mary is about 1808, given age. I am trying to confirm the Richmond/Dore connection so please response.gfmikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18064298250951203771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1430302132268556244.post-56709430698209593602008-01-05T12:02:33.841-05:002008-01-05T12:02:33.841-05:00Hello Tom, Miss you from Godfrey but enjoy reading you on this site.<BR/>Are there any other reasons for a name change?<BR/>My husbands gr grandfather joined the Navy in 1889 and gave the name of Frank Mortimer Wheeler, but his birth name was Lazarus Steinfeld.<BR/>At that time was it impossible for a Jewish person to join the military?<BR/>Could he change it without official court allowing it?<BR/>I went thru all the name change records for NY but didn't find it.<BR/>Thank you<BR/>Eviewheeeviewheehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16841567686445066593noreply@blogger.com
