Speaking of the islands and times gone by, I have noticed that LAFFOLEY
family members are and were living on the French mainland as well as on
Jersey (as found on www.geneanet.com). Is there a source that serves as a
repository of data for both the French and their Channel Island "cousins."
Was there at one time a lot of movement back and forth between the two
locations?

Is there such a thing as a "LAFFOLEY Family Association"?
