Robert Gaston Moch (1914-2005) has an FS profile at:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/L41Q-PRP

Both paternal and maternal lineages go back more than ten generations (although the Moch name itself only goes back three that I've found so far, and that on https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/252324 without much attribution save for his grandfather Alfonse Moch's^[1] sister Rosine Moch Beyersdorf(er) (1842-1929)^[2].).

The FS profile of Robert's first wife, Barbara Marian Kent, is at:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/sources/LKKS-VLX

Note that her birth name was "Barbara Jane Kent" but later sources read "Barbara Marion Kent." Both paternal and maternal lineages go back more than ten generations. Barbara died on 12 Aug 1967.^[3]

The FS profile of Robert's second wife, Laverne Inez (Miller) Jacobs^[4][5] Moch^[6], is at:

https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/about/LKKS-V5P

Both paternal and maternal lineages go back more than ten generations. Surprisingly, per FS parts of Laverne's paternal family tree extend back 22 or more generations and her maternal lineage at least 19 generations.
