I will be taking a 2 day side-trip to RI for genealogical research probably 8-9 May. I previously visited the NHS, RIHS, RI Archives and N. Kingstown town hall on a earlier (very fruitful) trip. My BAKER ancestry traces to RI in the mid-1600s. My Baker cousin, Bonnie Baker Weber, and I have been researching our common ancestor Rev. Thomas Baker (1638-1710) for quite a few years. We have a lot of information about him in the years 1656 to the early 1700s. However, as far as I know we have no reliable information from the years 1669 to 1689. Prior to 1669, Thomas was in Newport. After 1689, he was in N. Kingstown. I would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions concerning how best to spend my time when I am there trying to find new information. My tentative plan is to spend one day at the NHS and another day somewhere else. I am aware, per Bertram Lippincott, that the NHS is closed on Mondays. Thanks in advance for any pointers you might be able to provide. Richard Baker Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
