ICEBREAKER #genchat Do you have instances of chain migration in your family line? @genchat
kwheaton, 28 days ago @genchat @genchat yes, chain migration! It led to thousands of descendants in the US who claimed they were related but there wasn't much proof. All surnamed MOSER and later MOSIER They came from small villages in Bavaria on 2 ships a couple of years apart in the early 1700's. I recount part of the story here. It is the classic 3 brothers story but there were 6 brothers and a sister! And these pre-date immigration records. https://wheatonwood.com/2024/01/05/the-three-brothers-story-retold-johan-martin-moser/ #chainmigration #immigration #bavaria #familyhistory #genealogy
