The main purpose of this site is to archive Traces, our Davis genealogy newsletter. Traces contains information from our genealogy research into the Davis families with roots in early Ulster County, New York and vicinity.

Traces is being sent to over a hundred Davis descendants and local history researchers. We are always delighted to meet new "cousins," please contact us if you'd like more information or would like to receive our Traces newsletter by e-mail.

Who we are:
Richard Davis of LaHave, Nova Scotia, descendant of Moses Davis and Lydia Markle.
Diana Davis Deppe of Hudson Falls, N.Y., sister of Richard.
Barbara Davis Schaffer of Livingston, NJ, descendant of William Davis and Maria Kittle.
