The Moriarty/Aucoin Home Page

This site contains the results of research conducted by my great-grandfather, my father and myself. It's ironic that in many cases, it is easier now to do genealogical research than it was two generations ago. It isn't likely that my great-grandfather would have found a Family Bible record from a very distant cousin in Georgia, but thanks to the Internet, it was posted in a place where I could stumble across it!

This site is divided into four parts, representing the families of my grandparents:

The Moriartys
The Aucoins
The Staffords
The Davises

I will strive to include only documented information. If you have data that conflicts with mine, or can "fill in a hole", please feel free to share, but INCLUDE YOUR SOURCES!
