Harris family relationships are extensive and often confusing. The offspring of Dick Harris’ brothers and sisters were very numerous. While a complete Harris family genealogy cannot be presented here, a guide to the myriad of names and the attendant relationships is necessary. The following list has been compiled in order to aid the researcher in the identification of relatives who correspond with Richard T. Harris and his family and of those whose photographs are in the collection. These notes do not identify any other individuals in the papers.

Please note: the list may contain some errors as there are several people in the family with the same or similar names.
