It may well be the same branch of the family but families, I have learned, were very secretive back then and if there was a member that they were ashamed of, they never mentioned them. I have since learned from the original social security application that William Mushaw may have been spelled Musial or Mushall. My grandmother said that he was born Jun 27 in Austria and married Margaret Sapien who was born on 1 Jan in Darmstadt, Hessen, Germany. I was a bit surprised that she didn't know what year her parents were born it though and have not been able to find out any other information on either of them except that they had 15 children, my grandmother being the oldest. Her son, my father (now deceased), never knew much about the family either so I have been left on my own trying to find anything out about the family. If you should find a connection, I'd gre! atly appreciate it if you let me know and I'll do the same.
