Happy New Year List, Let me introduce myself. My name is Kemis (SONGER) MASSEY. I am the new list administrator for [email protected] There shouldn't be any changes from the old list administrator, as my rules are very simple. 1.. Have fun locating your MASSEY ancestors 2.. Help others if you have the information, because I sure don't know it all. I'm still looking for all of my hubbies MASSEY's. 3.. NO FLAMING - My Mama says if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. I'll handle it off-list. So if you have a problem with someone, email me at [email protected] I'll handle the problem. 4.. Rootsweb.com has been nice enough to give us the email lists and many websites, please don't sell the info that you receive from others. They were nice enough to share with you. If you want to sell something, do your own research and sell it. Cause if you use others info to sell, you are stealing from all of us. 5.. Please respect the living and don't post their info here, without their permission. Fraud is to easy and you never know who might be "lurking" to find info for that purpose. 1. How to unsubscribe. Send a message to [email protected] that contains (in the body of the message) the command unsubscribe and no additional text. 2. How to subscribe. Whatever you just did worked, or you'd not be getting this message. But for future reference (for instance, if your subscription is cancelled for whatever reason and you want to resubscribe), just send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] 3. How to change to digest mode (several postings are combined and sent to you together as a single large message). There are two steps. First, send the command "unsubscribe" to [email protected] to discontinue mail mode. Second, send the command "subscribe" to [email protected] to start receiving digests. 4. How to change to NOMAIL mode. There is no formal NOMAIL mode. All you have to do is follow the directions above and unsubscribe when you want the messages to stop, and then when you want them to start again, simply subscribe again. 5. If you'd like to post a message so everyone on the mailing list receives it, just send it to [email protected] It will then be sent on to everyone in both mail and digest mode. You don't need to send it explicitly to both.

Thank you, Kemis. Hopefully you can get a dialogue going. My gr grandfather was Joseph Massey, born 1808 Buncombe Co. NC. The only fellow who fit the context to be Joseph's father was Avery Massey who was in Greenville Dist. SC in 1800, Buncombe Co. NC in the 1810 census and then about 1820 he is in a military Dist in Franklin Co. GA. Later there is a land record giving the Orphans of Avary Massey a drawing. Sure would like to prove or disprove a connection. In the DNA Massey testing, my brother shows up only one marker out of 25 different from James M. Massey whose seems to be linked to Maryland families. Would love to make the connection. Any help appreciated. Barbara Massey Ferrell
