This family history is presented from the viewpoint of Evelyn Henderson
Hi Everyone! I'm Evelyn, a great-great grand-daughter of my first ancestor Thomas and Rachel Moulding, who came from Lancashire, England to Kane County, Illinois, USA in May of 1851. I want to say a big "welcome" from Saskatchewan, Canada, where the countryside of rolling hills and flat prairie, along with the "ribbon" of highways stretch forever, no trees to block your beautiful view.
Please stop by for a coffee and a good Canadian visit, let's talk about the "good ol' day's and "remember when" at Granpa and Gramma's house on the farm or in town.
I knew about Family Genealogy 20 years before I got started at this great "hobby". I was single at the time, thinking my Grandmother Maude will be here when I want answers. I married and my family of 4 filled my days, so the thought was put away on the back shelf. I have often wondered where some of our family names came from and how far away.
When I did start, I was told about Dorothy Conklin, a cousin, who was doing this in Illinois. She gladly gave me dates and names on the older Mouldings in May 1984. I was surprised to learn that we have "roots" in England. In growing up I never asked my Grandmother about her background. We heard of Elgin, Elburn, Aurora, Maple Park in Kane County, and Sycamore in DeKalb County, as to where her brothers and sisters lived. I'm so pleased that Dorothy did share with me, as I'm not sure where I would have looked first. The records that Dorothy did are in Salt Lake City Library on film.
To Peter Moulding, (no relative, so far) who came up with the "great idea" of a Moulding Website, for all of us to read. It has been fun and lots of hard work, to get the information to him, and most confusing at times, I'm sure, for Peter. He has done a "great job". A big Thank You Peter.
Any family members reading this, please help me by adding your input, with information and stories of years gone by, may it be"sad" or "happy". Let's make this a 'one stop' for checking in on our next of kin. Thank you for your visit and do stop by again.
