Still Looking For Abraham Moon, Mohn, Mohnin, Mohon, etc.
If you have not seen this post on the Moon genforum page, please review to determine if there are any connections to any of your Mohneys.
Please note that my email address has changed from [email protected] to [email protected].
Has anyone researched the Walzs, Krugers Albaughs or Christians? On the above date, Peter Walz & Elisabeth Mohnin were married in Frederick Co. Md. at the Evangelical Lutheran Church and Sara Mohnin was listed as a witness. I also found some other references to other names who could be related such as Walz, Kruger, Albaugh and/or Christian.I found a woman who is a Mohnin and her ancestry is either Estonian or Swedish. This may be an area we have not researched. If you have, please post a reply.
