That may or not narrow it down for us depending if I have all of the children. I have six: James, Mary Ellen (my line), Joseph, Sarah, Henry, and Margaret b. 1870. I do have the WINDLANDTS back into Germany but have nothing more on the MOOSE family. Hope this helps somewhat. Marjory A. Austen MAPPAusten@aol.com
