Johannes Conrad Mohr immigrated to USA in 1807. So any Moore before that in the states would be speculative. We don't know why the boy left the Rhine River area, but we think/hope he may have had relatives in Lancaster Co., PA. He married in Lebanon Co., PA. There are male Moores who could take the DNA test, but since we have our group back to 1750's in Europe, we don't know what it would prove. A relative born in Germany (her Moore daddy was an American soldier) has researched the area and found there are no Moores left there, no records, nothing. A German preacher found and translated the baptismal and marriage records for 2 generations and then the records became unavailable. I guess we're very lucky to have as much documentation as we do, given Napoleon's wars and then two World Wars. But I'd like to connect with other Moores. Johannes had a younger sister and brother. We don't know if they were the "two minor children" on the manifest who traveled with him to this country in 1807. Johan Peter Mohr and Anna Margaretha Mohr. I have their birth records, but nothing more. Shirley Maynard
