A long time ago I started searching for my ancestors and in that search I started looking for an Individual that has come to be known as the "Elusive Joseph Masson/Mason". In my search I have met serveral wonderful, helpful individauls who were also looking for the same Joseph and have helped a great deal in this search. These individauls we will call cousins. We pooled our knowledge and have used the services of Marlene Simmons, the Missisquoi Historical Society, Broone Historical Society and many other organizations. We have sought help from other individuals that we knew of who were researching these family surnames. It appears that we have exhausted all the avenues, and would like to ask for the help of any researcher working the family surnames listed below if they would share any information which may possible shed some light on our search. We are looking for any clue that may be contained in another researchers data that may lead us to solving the mystery.

-- MAY BE TRANSLATED -- To all residents of Quebec:- Quebec and its residents have a glowing, wonderful, historical heritage -- which might be LOST to present and future generations. The last Quebec census records available to family researchers are the 1901 ones. Many across Canada are hoping to obtain release of the Post-1901 census records, to be available in 2003. However, this might not happen -- unless YOU assist in the fight. As in other parts of Canada, residents of Quebec elected Members of Parliament to speak for them in Ottawa. If they are members of one party, he/she will be told HOW to vote, which might be contrary to the way YOU feel. Would you not like to know how your Member of Parliament feels about this topic???? Check the following list of Members of Parliament:- [Scoreboard] http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/index6.htm You will notice now, or on the next update, only THREE (3) agree to census release, the others have (1) stated NO; (2) cannot make up his/her mind; (3) Blue ? denotes no answer to anyone. As in the rest of Canada, researchers will find it very difficult to learn about family members if the census is not available. The church records are great -- but may not include family groupings. We ask all readers to contact his/her Member of Parliament, and forward the replies to one of the following:- Jeannine Ouellette <jeannine.ouellet@sympatico.ca> (en francais) Christine Joudrey <cjjoud@bserv.com> (en francais et anglais) Muriel Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> <anglais) Gordon Watts keeps the scoreboard updated -- to be published before the next election -- his research THE MYTHS OF CENSUS is found at http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html This MAY be printed and translated for all readers. {If TRANSLATED, please forward a copy to be posted to above URL} Let's all work together on this project -- we need the records for research.

You are right about these land grants anyone could apply for one about all you had to do was show up, or it seems. From the book The History of the Eastern Townships, Katherine Day says families came to the area for many reasons, persecution, loyalty, and some just for the free land. The British Government did set up a land claims office in Montreal for those who lost property or suffered in some way because of the war. These papers can probably be accessed through the archives. It seems that a lot of these settlers were poor and it was a way to get a head and have something of there own. I have about 5 more pages of names of those that took the oaths there were about 9 in all I will keep going with them if anyone is still interested. R. J. Shogan
