My Mothers maiden name is Moore and we traced it all the way back to an unknown Moore. I was wondering why our Moore path that leads back to Berkshire, UK to John Moore seems to dead end here.. Is there any way to solve this puzzle? I am trying to figure out what happened to my great grandfathers parents, and why they are the unknown Moores. I am googling everything I can google trying to get a tid bit of information about the missing link in our family chain. My grandfather's name was John Moore; born 1587 - 1687. Maybe something strange went on, I think I am figuring out what happened.
