Re: Moret's in Iowa
Hi Diana. My name is Barbera Moret and I was born in the Netherlands. I now live in Australia. My Dutch Family Tree goes back to the year 1600 when Francois Moret came to Rotterdam in the Netherlands from Belgium. We are French Hugenotes and Francois was an artist woodcarver. I suspect that you are descended from him because his grandson Leendert Jacobszoon Moret who was born in Rotterdam in 1628 died in Delaware USA and whose wife Sijgje Sijnhorst Died in Iowa USA. It looks as if a branch of your American family ended up in Newfoundland. Any way Iowa has always been very popular as a destiny for dutch migrants. Good luck in your search. Barbera Moret.
