American Family Trees

Because of the obscurity of many of their roots, Americans can be particularly interested in them. Many of the true Delaforces in the USA derive from the Matthew who was born in Greenwich, Connecticut in 1640. Apart from the material discovered by Patrick in 1980, other family members have contributed material to Ken's web site. All that has been received to date are included below & on subsequent pages:-
