A new look at our family history
Where our ancestors lived

Our ancestors frequently moved around the country, probably in search of work. Fortunately they left a trail behind themselves, in the form of Parish Records, Wills, sometimes deeds or lease documents.. More recently through census records and civil certificates.
I’m a descendant of slaves currently living in Marshall Texas, USA. Regardless of that fact, I am curiously interested in the British ancestors of the American line that planted that name in East Texas. I have read that the name Moseley (including all derivatives) was from the West Midlands area of England(or Britain?) whichever is correct. Thank you
