My grandfather's name is George William Mosiere, born in 1893 in Ontario,
Wayne Co., NY to Bertha J. Canfield and William Mosiere (a.k.a. Moisure or
Mosheir). George's sister -- Pearl Bertha Moisure -- was born in 1890, also
in Ontario, NY. Both George and Pearl's surname were legally changed to
Mosher in 1942 and 1948, respectively. Bertha and William divorced in the
mid-1890s, with the children growing up with Bertha and her parents in
Eaton, Madison Co. Contact was lost with William after the divorce, with no
record of his parents or whereabouts. The birth record of George lists
William's occupation as a farmer, born between 2/18/1861 and 12/2/1861 in
New York.
I have made a death record inquiry with the N.Y. Dept. of Vital Statistics
for William, with no luck. Review of Federal Census records also have not
provided any leads.
