Please accept my heartfelt condolences for the loss of Joan. Although I have not been in contact for many years, she was a wonderful caring woman who was so very proud of her family and their achievements. - Posted by: Jonathan Faurschou (Friend) on: Jan 06, 2017

I have been traveling, researching and writing about Joan Greene's MOSELEY Family for many years. She used to correspond and contribute information/pictures via email with me, but stopped suddenly about four years ago. I also know her sister, Linda Moseley in Brockville. I know she has a brother, Reid Moseley, in Alberta. I'm very sorry to hear of her death. If she had been in better health, I'm sure she would have been pleased to know that another cousin, Elaine Heibert in Colorado and I in Ottawa proved a lot of our Moseley family roots in Lancashire, England last year. Elaine & I went to the church in Ormskirk where John Moseley and Ciscley were married in 1634 before emigrating to Dorchester, Mass., USA in 1635. The Moseley history is fascinating. We are writing a book. I'm currently working on our Moseley history back in 1587 in Lancashire. My condolences to all Joan Greene's extended family.
