To the person who asked about the unknown Messer in LA., sorry but I don't have any info on them. I tried replying to your message but since my email address is unknown to your address book, it was returned. I haven't had a lot of luck on my Messers, pretty elusive group. Am I the only person who gets an ancestor with a common name in an area but they don't connect with any of the locals? Drives me nuts. But then that's what makes this so interesting. Pierson/Person Messer married Armintha Golden and they moved back and forth to FL from AL, finally settling in FL. Some kids stayed in AL, some stayed in FL. Good luck on your hunt!
