Thank you for being the administrator of the Morse Rootsweb surname List. If you are going to list the MORSE SOCIETY as one helpful link to all MORSE researchers, you may also want to add the link for the MORSE-2 y-DNA Test Group which also represents MORSE / MOSS researchers worldwide. Our public website has more than just y-DNA information. We also share information we have collected on most early MORSE / MOSS lines, especially (but not limited to) the states of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Kentucky.

Debbie: I am fascinated by both the news of DNA results on the lines of William, Anthony, and Obadiah Morse, and the news that John Morse of Wallingford, Connecticut may be related to them. I would further like to know if there are any DNA findings for Samuel Morse, b 1576 (depending on which Samuel Morse he actually was), in Boxted, Essex, England, died in Medfield, Massachusetts. But I can't find the actual Y-DNA table for the New England Morse and Moss families anywhere. Your own page makes reference to the Morse Society, and they have a page about their DNA project, but I can't find a link to the results. How would I find them?
