About us
UPDATED 10 Dec 2020:
See our MORSE / MOSS Subgroups (any spelling) on our easy-to-understand color-coded chart by clicking on the 'yDNA Results' tab. This is a FREE website with NO membership requirements. Joining any FTDNA surname group automatically qualifies you for FTDNA's discount on all kits ordered. Thus far we have several distinct groups of MORSE / MOSS y-DNA signatures represented in our growing study. These groups will be easy for you to identify in color-coded groups appearing in the chart at the bottom of this page. Please note that variant spellings of the surname can occur within the family groups that have matching yDNA! WE ARE COLLECTING DATA ON ALL EARLY MORSE / MOSS LINES, ESPECIALLY IN THE MIDDLE & SOUTHERN COLONIES(including Maryland) & THE UNITED KINGDOM. SOME OF THESE LINES SHARE THE SAME y-DNA SIGNATURE AS THOSE OF EARLY NEW ENGLAND! SOME LINES ALREADY REPRESENTED BY y-DNA MARKERS &/OR RESEARCH ARE: Ebenezer Moss / Morse who lived in Prince William County, VA in the mid-1700s, Spartanburg County, SC in the late 1700s, and Caldwell County, KY in the early 1800s. His y-DNA somehow links to William, Anthony and Obediah Morse who lived in Massachusetts & New Hampshire, as determined by the Morse Society. William & Anthony Morse of Massachusetts & New Hampshire. Ebenezer and Obadiah Morse of Westmoreland County, VA. Gilbert Moss (dates) of York County, SC Benjamin Moss John Moss 1634 John Moss 1700 John Moss 1801 Thomas Moss b1655 & John Moss b1707 of New Kent, VA; David Moss of TN, married Catherine Price Gabriel Moss in SC 1806 Abner Moss in SC 1787 Ebenezer and Obadiah Moss of Prince George County, MD; Mathew and Sylvester Moss of Prince William County, VA; Samuel Morse of Granville County, NC; Moss/Morse Surname of York County, SC; James Morse of Greenville County, SC; Mason Morss / Moss of Spartanburg County,SC & Giles County, TN; William C. Moss in NC, 1800. We are looking for male, direct-line descendants of these & other Moss / Morse families who are interested in testing and or sharing their research. In this study we hope to identify the DNA signature of these early families. Knowing the family line that contains our ancestor will lead to more productive research by eliminating the lines that are not related. DNA may be the only way to separate these families into distinct family units because so many documents are lacking. OUR RESULTS REPRESENT BOTH MOSS & MORSE Y-DNA!
