Massey published the following three books. When I refer to his writings. it's almost always the ADDENDUM, the most useful of the three. I don't know whether all three of these or just the ADDENDUM have been reprinted. If you're purchasing only one book, it should most definitely be the ADDENDUM. Here are the three, in order of their usefulness: 1. 1979: MASSEY GENEALOGY ADDENDUM 2. 1980: MASSEY ON CENSUS 3. 1974:Two books published as one: (a) MY MASSEY FAMILY IN ENGLAND. This section discussed the same area covered in the new MASSEY GENEALOGY 2000 by William W. Massey, Jr. (b) MASSEY FAMILIES IN AMERICA. The MASSEY ADDENDUM and MASSEY ON CENSUS has more complete and more accurate information than the material in this section. Generally when list subscibers mention the "new" book, they have in mind the one published in 2000: MASSEY GENEALOGY 2000 by William W. Massey, Jr. Price is $45.00 postpaid; hard bound; 232 pages. Order from the author: William W. Massey Jr. 7703 Deerwood Pointe Jacksonville. FL 32256 If you have any questions as to the difference in the two sets of books or other questions, I invite you to contact me directly at my personal Email. I don't want to repeat on the list too much of what I've already posted there, but I have details I can send directly to you. Regards, Theron Smith.

Hi Cousins! I have opened a website at My Family.com for descendants of Nicholas...if you're interested, please send me an email so I can send you an invitation. My Family was supposed to start charging for their websites, but they haven't yet. I'm hoping they've changed their minds...:) Just in case, we need to try and upload as many pictures and such as we can BEFORE they do start charging. Once you've logged into the site, you may invite as many people as you would like. Hoping to hear from you! Brenda

What is the cost of this book and where do I purchase it? Marie Subject: [MASSEY-L] New MASSEY Book

We have noticed that the link we have to "the Federal land title records for the Eastern Public Land States, issued between 1820 and 1908" has a horrible picture and the statement "Owned by PoisonBox" instead of the land records. ....Having been off-line for a couple of months, I am wondering if this has been noticed and perhaps there is a new/different URL for the land record page..... one I haven't heard of as I've been *gone* .... ???

Hi everyone, I have a copy of the Massey (and various spellings) Confederate Soldiers Roster from 1861 -1865. If you are looking for a Massey that might have been that war email me at [email protected] and I will gladly lookup for you. It gives their NAME,STATE,COMPANY...if they are on list then you can write National Archives for a copy of their records. There are appoximately 600 Masseys listed. Happy Hunting, Ann Massey

Hi everyone, Its been awhile since I posted my elusive Massey line. I am still searching for: James M. Massey b. June 1873 or 1876 TN m. abt 1893 Mary Evelyn Keeling b. Feb 1875 Roane Co,TN she died May 01,1906 unknown where children: 1)William Y. Massey b.Aug 1894 TX 2)Edmur Allen Massey b.Mar 1897 Ladonia,TX d.Mar 1950 CA (our line) m.#1 Willie Virgil Smith m.#2 Ida Mae (lnu) 3)Lucian L. Massey b.Feb 1900 Hunt Co, TX 4)Gertrude Massey b. 1903 TX 5)Cecil Massey b. 1906 TX James then remarried by 1920 Mandy (lnu) b.1871 TN. I believe that this may have been the sister to his first wife. I dont have any idea where James went after 1920 in Choctaw Co, Oklahoma. I cant find him anywhere in 1910. And he & Mary were in Hunt Co, TX in 1900. There is no census for 1890 of course. 1880 TN census soundex I located 2 James Masseys at age 7(b.1873). Both were in Warren Co, TN --1st was with Allen W & Eliza J. Massey..their kids were James 7, Elizabeth 4, Mahaly R. 2, John 1/12. #2 was with... M.T. & Stacy Massey their childrens names were: Geneva 16, Rubin 14, Minnie 10, James 7, William 5, Thomas 1, Joseph 12 According to the 1900 Census James was born in 1876 but according to the 1920 he was born 1873. I found no James Massey's on 1880 soundex born 1875/1876. Anyone know these guys??? I been looking for years for them. I do not know where Grandfather Edmur Allen Massey brothers and sister went or are as we had no contact with them. I do not know if any are still alive. Any help appreciated in helping me find this line. Thanks Ann Massey

I am still looking for the family of the John MASSEY who married Agnes COLLIER in either Brunwick Co VA or Northampton Co NC. Don't know birthdates, could be anywhere from abt 1740 to abt 1760. John and "Aggy" found on a deed in 1787 Northampton Co NC and John witnessed the will of her father, Thomas Collier, in 1797. I have found plenty of Massey families with sons named John in these areas, but none that show a marriage to anyone named Collier, or Agnes/Aggy/Aggie. The Collier family migrated to Caswell Co, NC and believe that John and Aggy did, also. Some of Aggy's Colliers eventually moved on to Giles Co TN, but have found no record of John and Aggy there. It has occurred to me that perhaps John died and Aggy remarried, or vice versa, aft 1797. Does anyone out there have this couple in their line ?

Several list subscribers recently asked me specific questions via private Email about their Massey ancestors. I intend to answer these, but haven't gotten to all of them yet. If you haven't heard from me in a week or so, I invite you to contact me again.

Judge Frank A. Massey published the following three books. When I refer to his writings. it's almost always to the ADDENDUM, the most useful of the three. I don't know whether all three of these or just the ADDENDUM have been reprinted. If you're purchasing only one book, it should most definitely be the ADDENDUM. Here are the three, in order of their usefulness: 1. 1979: MASSEY GENEALOGY ADDENDUM This covers the 19 different Massey/Massie/Masey/Macey/Macy familes found in the US and Canada and is the book I refer to frequently in my posts. It's extremely good for beginners looking for their lines. Of the 19 families covered here, only one (the Massey of Shirley Hundreds - chapter XIX) are treated in the new MASSEY GENEALOGY 2000 by William W. Massey, Jr.. and, the old books carry these lines down much closer to the present time. This volume also has an index to itself and to the 1974 MASSEY FAMILIES IN AMERICA 2. 1980: MASSEY ON CENSUS This lists the US federal census infomation from 1790 through 1850 for Massey and similar names. A few early state census record are also included and several marriage records are listed. When possible. these records are tied back to one of the 19 families on the ADDENDUM. 3. 1974:Two books published as one: (a) MY MASSEY FAMILY IN ENGLAND. This section discussed the same area covered in the new MASSEY GENEALOGY 2000 by William W. Massey, Jr. (b) MASSEY FAMILIES IN AMERICA. The MASSEY ADDENDUM and MASSEY ON CENSUS has more complete and more accurate information than the material in this section. Regards, Theron Smith

For England, Judge Massey's books only covers the ancient Masseys of Puddington, Coddington, Tatton, Cambridgeshire - all except the last in Cheshire. His ADDENDUN does cover the Geoffrey Massey family of Canada [family of Governor-General Vincent Massey and the late actor Raymond Massey. Judge Massey sent Raymond a complimentary copy of his book and got a nice reply from him. Theron Smith.

Hi I am new to the list. Please excuse my ignorance but who is Judge Massey? What is the book that people are wanting to obtain? Can anyone recognise my MASSEYs?

Nancy WARBURTON lived Crawshawbooth, Lancs, Eng Children known: Martha b 1877 James W b 1880 Arthur b. 1888 I would love to hear from anyone who thinks they recognise us. I am completely stuck at the moment with the birthplace of Henry born 1840. In the 1881 census he was born at Helbrooke, no county, Eng but there is no place. In 1891 census he was born Kilbrooke, York, Eng but again no place. I want to find more about William but don't have a lead so far! I haven't found the 2 who emigrated on any lists so far. Any suggestions would be very gratefully received. Regards Margaret

I think I've replied to everyone who requested the address for ordering information on reprints of Judge Massey's books. There were many request and I may have missed one. If so, then please let me know. Theron Smith.
