I am interested in working with people who own (or can get) a copy of "Reliques of the Rives (Rives) by James Rives Childs, published around 1929. It is available for a high price on Amazon - I will provide a link. If anyone knows where to read this for free please let me know.

I am not suggesting that "Reliques" will be the ultimate source for master profiles for these people, but Reliques should be a good source to start with, and will help to connect a good number of people in the U.S. with the surname Rives / Reeves / Ryves.
