== Biography ==Robert Southwick Richmond was born at Tripler Army Hospital in Honolulu. The family fortunately left there in August 1941, before Pearl Harbor, when the Army sent his father to Ft. Devens MA. His father continued his Army career, so that Bob graduated from an American military dependent high school in Germany, Kaiserslautern American High School (Go Raiders!) at the age of 16, in 1955.
He went on to graduate from Harvard College in 1955 (where he majored in German), and from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis in 1964. He completed his residency in anatomic and clinical pathology at Johns Hopkins in 1972 (his residency had been interrupted by two years in the US Army Medical Corps, where served in the US), and went into practice with his father in San Antonio. He spent most of his subsequent career as a locum tenens pathologist, retiring in 2017.
He has three daughters by previous marriages, three grandchildren, and no great-grandchildren.
He and his wife Kathleen live in a retirement community in Maryville, south of Knoxville TN.
He descends from John Richmond of Taunton MA around 1650, and has the Y chromosome haplogroup I-M253 (a.k.a. I-L22) to prove it.

And thank you for upgrading, 😊
I am very pleased to welcome you to the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the world, from Tennessee to the Netherlands, together.
It is best to start with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration.
Thank you for adding your DNA Test information to your profile on WikiTree. Your information will be propagated to the profiles of your parents and your ancestors within about 24 hours of being added. It will also propagate to the profiles of the descendants of your ancestors, so they may see your information under the heading "DNA Connections" just as you can see theirs.
Getting started with DNA outlines how to proceed to use your DNA test information on WikiTree and DNA is a link to a collection of links about WikiTree's many features involving DNA.
The DNA Connections list on your profile will provide a visual way for you to find potential relatives on WikiTree who have also added their DNA test information. Using DNA tools at sites like GEDMatch.com, if you find a relative that matches your DNA sufficiently and you have genealogical sources for the intermediate relationships, you can mark the specific parental relationships back to the most recent ancestor that you both share as "confirmed with DNA." For details, guidance, and examples of how to properly document DNA confirmations, see DNA confirmation.
To get the best results, begin adding sourced profiles for your ancestors until you can connect to ancestors already in WikiTree. If you have exhausted what you know on one line, it can sometimes help to add what you know on another line. The more branches you are able to add the greater the likelihood of finding potential cousins to match with. The process of identifying which branch elements of DNA relate to will better enable you to find matches that relate to the particular branches you are researching.
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do.
Happy tree climbing
