This is the public version of our genealogical data, and does not include living individuals.

Some material on the Cordes and Moser family names will be found in the tab called "Surnames - Some Background", or by simply clicking on the links in this sentence.

We hope you enjoy this site and find some of your relatives.  Please note that there are still many areas of the site which do not display sources; in some cases there may be further information which has not yet made it to the website. Questions, corrections and additions are welcome any time -  contact
