In southside Virginia, folks have a great sense of the importance of family, and my Family means a lot to me. This helps explain the many hours I've spent in the Clerk's Office in Chatham, Virginia, searching through the old records for information on Family History or Genealogy. My brother Ray Ricketts and I even got enough information on the Ricketts people that we wrote two books.

Warning:  Family History research can become addictive.

Here is some information about the Ricketts family.

Descendants of William Ricketts

Ricketts Land: Southside Virginia (1753 to 1833)

John Bill Ricketts: Father of the American Circus

From time to time, I will be adding more information to this section.
