Frances;
Thanks so much for the advice, deffinitions, and direction. I ended up in Manorial Rolls after searching for the number of Stephensons (heads of household was listed as only 2 I think, so I thought it would be easy to connect the threads. Ha! Ha!) ... on IOM when that info was available. Curiosity and knowledge seeking took me through those (so much to learn)!
Can't read latin, unfortunately. And although my parents from England, and their writing difficult to read, I'm sure I'll be stuck on understanding olde writings. Will try those listed under Arbory per your suggestion. (St. Columba, right?) How do I access the mormon/LDS microfilm?
Thanks again.
