OUR ANCESTORS is an historical and genealogical account of all the families that have settled at Bay de Verde since earliest times. It begins with the Taverners who were here from the 1630’s to the early 1700’s. Documentation of some of the other families begins in 1766. The book is an account of 64 families as well as commentary on more than a dozen others. Based on the Plantation Book records as well as the Church baptismal and marriage records the families are placed in a rough chronological order of arrival. Each family account begins with the earliest recorded ancestor, his wife and their children. The account describes several generations and usually ends with the generation of the early part of the 1900’s.

The book was researched and written by Brendan Doyle and the proceeds from the sale have been donated to the Bay de Verde Heritage Committee.
