He was born in Merced, California. When he was seven years old, he was kidnapped by Kenneth "Ken" Parnell (with the aid of an accomplice) and raised by him as his "son" and sex partner for the next seven years. At the age of 14 or 15, Ken decided he wanted another little son and with the aid of another accomplice kidnapped Timothy "Timmy" White, then about five years old. Steven, while Ken was at work, hitchhiked with Timmy to Ukiah where they went to the police. Both Timmy who had been missing about two weeks, and Steven missing for seven years, were reunited with their families. Steven later married, had two children, and died in an accident while riding his motorcycle. Steven older brother is that Cary Stayner, who later killed four women and was convicted and sentenced to death, and currently on death row. ===Primary documents=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=cabirth1905%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=21196953&recoff=1+3 California Birth Index, 1905-95] showing : "Steven G Stayner, born 18 Apr 1965, Merced County, mother's maiden name Augustin" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CaMarrIndex%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=1&recid=8397913&recoff=1+3 California Marriage Index, 1960-85] showing : "Steven G Stayner, age 20 to Jody L Edmondson, age 17, 12 Jun 1985, Merced County" *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?indiv=1&db=CAdeath1940%2c&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Steven&gsln=Stayner&sx=&=%2c%2c%2c&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&srchb=r&prox=1&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-d&fh=0&recid=7018850&recoff=1+2 California Death Index, 1940-97] showing : "Steven Gregory Stayner, born 18 Apr 1965 California, died 16 Sep 1989 Merced County, mother's maiden name Augustine" ===Secondary sources=== *[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Stayner "Steven Stayner"] on Wikipedia *''I Know My First Name is Steven'', by Mike Echols.

While he was a teenager, his family moved to California. In his later 20's he moved to [[Trinity County, California]] where he met his future wife Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine. They married in 1960 and had five children: Cary A 1961, Cynthia E 1963, Stephen G 1965, Jody C 1967, Corene V 1968. In 1990, Del's brother Jerry Stayner was murdered, in his house/apartment, with a shotgun. Del's eldest son Cary Stayner was staying with Jerry at the time, but he had an alibi and the murder has never been solved. Another Stayner sibling is Anna (Stayner) Jones whose name has appeared in various news articles. ===Primary documents=== *[http://search.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/sse.dll?db=people&so=2&rank=0&tips=0&gsfn=Delbert&gsln=Stayner&sx=&gs1co=1%2cAll+Countries&gs1pl=1%2c+&year=&yearend=&sbo=0&sbor=&ufr=0&wp=4%3b_80000002%3b_80000003&srchb=r&prox=1&db=&ti=0&ti.si=0&gss=angs-b&o_iid=21416&o_lid=21416 "Delbert Stayner"] on the ''U.S. Public Records'' database at Ancestry ==Margaret Mary Katherine Augustine== Margaret Mary Katherine "Kay" Augustine was born 7 June 1941 in [[Trinity County, California]], as the youngest child of Bob Augustine and his wife Mary Madden. Bob and Mary had two previous children: Robert 1930 and Florence 1936, both born in San Francisco County. ==Jesse James Stayner== ==Luella Candice Towell== ==Robert Augustine== ==Mary== ==Possible royal ascent== The most likely possibility that I've noticed so far, would be to firm up the supposed descent of Steven from Joshua White (1726-1784), of Joshua White from Daniel Sanbourne (d 1712), of Daniel Sanbourne from Anne Bachiler (d 1632), of Anne Bachiler from Anne Bray (b 1543). This Anne if she can be shown to be a daughter of Edward Bray by his wife Beatrice Shirley, as stated in OneWorldTree has a large and well-known ancestry (see [http://trees.ancestry.com/owt/pedigree.aspx?pid=1003306&st=1 OneWorldTree here]), including, no doubt, several descents from Edward I, King of England.
