Notes |
- I first met Warren online as I stumbled on his web site looking for Coggeshall ancestors. Noticing that his site had beautiful pictures of nature scenes and pages on biological science, giving credit to the Creator, I emailed him and thanked him for such a nice web site.
Not knowing where each other lived or what the other's full name was, through the course of emails I discovered that he and his wife Jean have lived in California for many years, and attend church near where my cousin lives. They had previously lived in the Buttonwoods section of Warwick, RI, near where I had grown up; furthermore, his middle name was Remington, after his mother's maiden name, and he had grown up in Johnston, where I now live! There were so many coincidences, and that was before I learned that his sister Bev owned the dairy which used to deliver milk to our home when we were children, and that a brother-in-law of his sister went to school with my dad in Johnston and Providence!
According to my "kinship report" on Family Tree Maker, Warren is related to me as follows: 7th cousin once removed; 7th cousin twice removed; 8th cousin twice removed; and 9th cousin once removed.
We got together with Warren a couple of times when he was here in RI; in 2006, Rich & I visited Warren at his home in Tustin, CA. I last heard from him in 2009.
