Can some one help me on the following, PLEASE? - I am trying to find information on a JOHN WARNER and any of his family or relatives living or deceased. He was a cousin to my father FRANK WARNER who lived in Easton, PA When my father passed away and family moved to various towns , all contact was lost. JOHN WARNER was employed by Sears & Roebuck in Easton, PA. during the 1930's and 1940's. John retired from Sears I believe in the 40's. During this time both sets of WARNER's lived in Easton. It is thought that JOHN moved to Bethlehem or Allentown after retirement, but uncertain about this. I also would appreciate a look-up, etc. on a NETTIE WARNER who was a member for the First Reform Church in 1900 located in Easton. Also a RACHEL WARNER who too was a member of the First Reform Church in 1833 on Easton. Any information would be of great help. Larry in Florida warnerlarry@juno.com
