Surnames: MATTSSON (and variants), MOORE Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/oRB.2ACI/260.1.1 Message Board Post: HAPPY DAYS! There are several of us working on this line right now! Would love to visit. I am a descendent of Mattson Moore's brother, John. Am in touch with a researcher who is descendant of Mattson, living in Wisconsin. We have lots of stuff we have found and are looking for. Father of Mattson, John and Mary was John Moore, married to Ann Mattsson, dau of Israel Mattsson. Wamsley's Mattsson Genealogy lists Ann as predeceasing her father, but in fact, John Melcher in Wisconsin has found records reflecting that she became a ward of William Pedrick shortly after her father's death. Believe William to be the sister of her mother. Peter Craig, noted research on all the Swedish lines in this area, concurs that this may be a likely match. Write soon! Virginia Moore Dallas, TX
