This website is devoted to the Duck Family in America and above all, to our own Josiah Duck Family history. In the process of researching our branch of the Duck Family, we have discovered numerous other branches and documents pertaining to non-related Duck families. In an effort to assist serious Duck Family researchers, we decided to make some of our transcriptions available here.

While we do not intend to list full family trees of the Duck Family, we will include information on various branches we have encountered, along with as much documentation as we have discovered thus far. If you are a member of a particular branch and have more information, corrections and/or additions, we would love to hear from you. If you are a member of a Duck Family not represented here, let us know and we will add your information.
