Cousins, For those of us who are descended from Isaac Stearns and Mary Barker and his kinsmen Charles and Shubael, all of Nayland, Suffolk, Eng.: On the WARREN-L mailing list yesterday was posted a message about our favorite little town of Nayland. The John WARREN the Fifth ancestor of the lady who posted the message was from there and probably came over with Isaac and Mary on the "Arabella" in 1628, as both couples settled and lived out their lives in Watertown, MA. The most exciting thing is that she gives dates for another 100 years of generations in Nayland! (see below for an example) That implies that the records still exist and are accessible! Does anyone know where to start to look for them? I have emailed the lady to ask for more information on her sources. More later on a Stearns database I am putting together and hope to 'publish' online soon. Care to contribute your GEDCOM? Take Care, Cuz Mark Stearns,II <mstearns@airnet.net> P. O.
