Twillingate Moors Family

Compiled by Stefanie Wilson, a Moors/Pook descendant.

Please note: spelling of Moors is alternatively Moores in some transcriptions, I have chose to use the spelling without the 'e' as that is what is used in my family journals. Most of this information comes from a family journal. Much of what you see has been confirmed with records transcribed on NL GenWeb or NL's Grand Banks genealogy site. Information that has not yet been confirmed is indicated. Some information has been added from the records of others (most notably, the lists of children in Comments)
