I have a definite interest in genealogy for early New England - direct ancestors, founding fathers of the United States and The LDS Church. There are a lot of records from these colonies, so it should be possible to document all settlers and their extended families. Contact: Bryce Hall (1962), Oceanside, California.

 * 10) Warenne Family Ancestry - I also enjoy learning about my ancestral lines that reach back into Midieval Royalty and beyond. They are listed here at the Project. This is from my dad's side of the family. There is a very weak gap from Griffen Warren (d. c1333 at Woodbridge, Suffolk) to Rober Warren (b. 1485 at Nayland-Wissington, Suffolk). It will take a special research trip to clean that up.
