    3. When I was in Sorn a couple of years ago, I obtained a copy of the records of the stones which still exist but not necessarily the burial records. The gentleman who lives in the cottage directly across the street from the church loaned them to me to have copied that day. The only copier in town was at the Sorn Inn where I was staying. Wonderful people! and the food is some of the best I have ever had. I will be happy to scan them and send them to anyone as an attachment. I am currently not at home but working overseas and will not return until some time in late June. If you still need them then, please contact me.
