If you poke around the FamilySearch website, you'll find that the bearers of the name Richland who came from Russia (tinyurl.com/m2o4j9c) and Poland (tinyurl.com/kcrv6uu) were almost certainly Jewish while those from Germany were not (tinyurl.com/mgjfwqq). This is pretty clear just by looking at their given names. Richland is obviously an alteration of the original surname but I have no idea what that was.
