Guys, since you have an exact date of birth, try with FB (not Facebook ;) Hatzfeld, St. Hubert, Mastort, Heufeld .... I had few cases with whole bunch of Massongs, all coming from a.m. areas. Of course, they can be scattered across many more places around, but it does not hurt to check those FB. Hopefully, you will find something useful in USA sources. Good luck! By the way, for everyone that may be interested - I have met Sorin Fortiu yesterday in Timisoara. He is writing a series of articles for various historical magazines and he is preparing a book about the historical evolution of "banships"(banovina - after which Banat got its name) as I undestood :) Take care!
