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.
