I know that you're extremely busy. My maiden name was Smith. The Moore's and the Mosley's are on my mother's side. Her name was Della Hughes and her mother was Adeline Moore. Adeline's mother was Adaline Mosley. Everyone always said that Adeline Moore was part Indian, but I've never been able to proove that, can you shed any light on that? Thanks again. Dolores

I am doing research with bits and pieces of information that I am told or that is given to me plus what I may find. I was told that my mother may have died in a auto accident but I can't say for sure If that is true or not knowing where the source came from but I am hoping she is still alive. My father was executed in prison I was told for stealing food back then but that story doesn't sit well with me he must have done something else to be put to death. But I do know he is dead I went to his funeral. Remembering Floyd County as I do from being so young seems like some of the local folks would remember something or there is a newspaper article somewhere about either one of my parents or of the both of them. I just know that my sister and I had to be adopted together and not split apart or so we are told.

I just found your request for orders for the Mosley book. I'm interested in that book but not as much as the Moore book. I sent you a few pictures of some of my ancestors for that prior to publication and would just really like to see it. You wouldn't still have a copy of that, would you? What is the cost of the Mosley book and the Moore book? Would be interested in finding out. Thank you. Dolores
