Notes

2/1122021--looking at this again and still not sure we did not mix musser and moser by mistake (comments)RE: merger of Moser 658 and Moser 85--and I suppose Moser 769 previously. It is time to go back to the full basic information to check the facts. Things as basic as "Is his name Johann Daniel, or only Daniel". Must double check the location name also is it Lynn Northampton, PA and did he move around from there? Are their 2 Moser families living close together with many of the same names. Also look at the name Johann Daniel Musser---Are Musser and Moser the same person or two different persons? 8/17/20--Research shows that for this family the names Musser and Moser interchange depending on where you find the record in either source, time, or family Tree. This will make it very difficult to keep straight in a World tree such as this one. It appears that before 1800 "Musser" is most prevalent, and after 1800 "Moser" becomes the norm--and that is what I am going to attempt, and using the also know as name as a transitional tool.
