The Sumner Family Association Below is information on the Sumner Family Association, provided by Charles H. Sumner. The Sumner Family Association was begun on a small scale in late 1982. Its membership has now exceeded 300. Mailings to some Sumners found in phone books have been made, and cards have been sent to nearly all in a list of 5,500 found in Sharon Taylor's book or another book. The percentage of responses is not very great.
Referrals are helpful.
Queries to genealogical publications are being tried. Extensive information has been recorded in my computer. Information on other Sumner families is expanding dramatically - English families, descendants of William Sumner of Nansemond County Virginia, etc. Exceptions will be made for foreign funds. An approximate equivalent in international postal money order or some postal coupons will suffice.
