Welcome to the Morse Society website
he mission of The
Morse Society is to gather, organize and disseminate genealogical
and historical information pertaining to
North American Morse and Moss
progenitors, their ancestors and their descendents, including those
with variant spelling such as Morss and Mors. We started documenting
our family lines in the mid-1800s, so our archives contain over 150
years of meticulous research. Our extensive databases focus on five
New England progenitor lines, as well as current and pre-immigrant
lines in the UK,
Canada and Australia. The progenitor
lines include Anthony Morse of Newbury, MA (1635), William Morse of
Newbury, MA (1635),
Samuel Morse of Dedham, MA (1635),
Joseph Morse of Ipswich, MA (1635), and John Moss of New Haven, CT
(1639).
ur families started coming to
North America
in 1635, from England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Germany,
Russia,
Holland, Norway,
and other far flung places. Some brought the surname with them and some changed
their names after arriving. Clans settled in Canada,
New England, the mid-Atlantic, and the Southeastern
states. Some came as free men while others arrived as
indentured servants,
but all came to start a new life in the new world. No matter where your Morse or
Moss family came from or where they put down roots, your family is part of our
family. Please come back often to see what new features we've added since your
last visit.
