Donna, I think that's a neat idea! You're sure right about the intermarriages. I'd be happy to post information and updates at New London County CTGenWeb, if you want to contact me and let me know how you'd want to word it, how you'd want to be contacted, etc. With time to plan, it could be a great event! The Stonington Historical Society has a good early history of first settlers: http://www.stoningtonhistory.org/archiv4.htm Pat Sabin http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Schumacher" <jdschumacher@sbcglobal.net> To: <CTNEWLON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 02, 2005 12:22 PM Subject: [CTNEWLON-L] Ultimate Family Reunion-To the descendants of Stonington, Conn. families > My name is Donna M.
