Dedication
Aubrie C. Moran
We, the children of Aubrie C. Moran, wish to thank him for his tireless efforts in researching and compiling this family history. His many years of sorting through old records, writing for and requesting information, and visiting cemetaries are culminated in this volume. He has given us a window into the past and provided us with an opportunity to know more about those who came before us and how it is we came to be who we are - MORANS. We consider this to be his very special gift to us and to our children and grandchildren for generations to come. We hope that all of you who receive this family history will appreciate it as much as we do.
THANK YOU DAD. WE LOVE YOU !!!
