This page includes transcripts from the 1910 volume of 'The New England historical and genealogical register' by New England Historic Genealogical Society.[1] It is from a quarterly update titled 'Genealogical Research in England' to the 'Committee on English Research' from Miss Elizabeth French who is engaged in transcribing from what are assumed to be original records. The chapter relevant to the Warrens of Nayland was originally published in Oct 1910 and is on p346-355 of the register. (See notes for more information about the register.)
At the end of the chapter Miss French attempts to connect the records she has transcribed into a semblance of a tree, which is the basis of what has been put into WikiTree. She writes:
The foregoing wills and register abstracts show the ancestry and connections of John Warren who came to New England in 1630 with his wife and children John, Mary, Daniel, and Elizabeth, and settled at Watertown, Mass.
It should be noted that Miss French had a singular purpose in tracing ancestors of the early migrants to America. She was looking for connections to a specific part of the Warren tree and in doing so may have overlooked other records that might allow a better understanding of the links between records such as sibling links and intergenerational links outside of the direct chain from Robert to the emigrating John Warren. Indeed the editors make two additional comments to the end of chapter where they highlight the uncertainty of the links.

| Map of Parish of Nayland and surrounding areas |
Nayland is a village and former civil parish, now in the parish of Nayland-with-Wissington, in the Babergh district, in the county of Suffolk, England. It is in the Stour Valley on the Suffolk side of the border between Suffolk and Essex.
Within the source document Nayland seems to be used to refer to both the village of Nayland and more broadly the wider parish. However it seems likely that when used in the wills, rather than parish records, it refers to just the village itself.
The areas include:
- Nayland / Neylond / Naylande
- Wyston / Wiston / Wissington
- Assington
- Stoke Nailond / Nayland nexte Stoke / Stoke by Nayland
Wills

Research notes
Page numbers in the source images
It looks like the 388 quarterly journal pages were collated and published within a wider book which includes proceedings of the society for the year, indices and other society information, but the original numbering of the journal is maintained within the book, which just then continues its own numbering, accounting for the extra pages.
The scanned images in the source use the imaged page number, so the numbering on the images skips between x of 596 to x of 388 and back to x of 596 again - there are no images between 23 and 419 in the 596 range as these are the journal.
Other sections by Miss French in this volume are:
- Jan 1910 p51-61
- Apr 1910 p135-140
- July 1910 p239-248
