My family is Ricken. My grandfather was born in Ireland but we had difficutly tracking down his parents records as he was orphaned as a wee lad. His father was Frederick Richan, from the Richan family of Orkney who can trace their ancestral line to the Rognvald, the Norse Earl of Orkney. Their were many seafaring men in my family all living in Orkeny. William Richan was the captain on the HM Norfolk.George Stewart of the infamous Bounty was a son of a Richan woman in Kirckwall. John Richan lost his life on his boat when a wave washed over his boat and mixed with lime he was transporting which blew the ship to bits. I will look at my family tree but I do not remember a P.Richan or Ricken in it. More details please?!

Hello, I am doing some research for the direct descendant of Ellen Tracey(who married James Tracey) nee Woodburn of Cumberland and later Fife. I would be grateful if you could contact me about this topic.
