Website Update 31 August 2020

 33 new narratives have been added, and 6 changed, since the last website update on 16 August. There are now a total of 13,252 detailed narratives available on the website and 21,033 people (33 new) in our database.

This update again was mainly focused on the descendants of William MOULDS, (c1710-1774), Stuart's 5th great-grandfather, who lived in Little Ponton, Lincolnshire. This covers the states of Iowa, Missouri, and Oklahoma. 

We have subscribed to http://www.newspapers.com/, the largest online newspaper archive covering 18,400+ newspapers from the 1700s-2000s. The archive currently has 608,193,142 pages. Subsequently we found a lot of new information, particularly from obituaries. 

Also included in this update is family photographs, kindly provided by Nyssa Moulds, who is Stuart's 5th cousin, once removed.

These changes relate to the following surnames:

ALLEN, BAER, CUMMINGS, ERBSTOESSER, FLETCHER, FOX,

MOULDS, NIEBUHR, QUANTRILL, STEFFEN, TURNER, VENZ,

WEAVER, and WITTKOP
