After visiting Sisson gravesites, relatives, and packing up a dorm room we are back in NJ. I will pursue the contact with Geo. L. Sisson in the next few days.

Joan, you were asking about what's known of George L. Sisson, he of Poppasquash Road, Bristol. CT. John D. Sisson says "He is the one (as I remember it) who ran a radio/TV station" and Dave and Joan Sisson remember him as "George Lincoln Sisson, Jr., who subscribed to the 'Sisson Newsletter' for a year after attending the First (1994, I think) Bienniel Gathering in East Granby, CT." So I think we have an ID. David Arne Sisson

I will pull up the files and show you what I have. I decided to go through all my files of Sisson information and match it up with the South Carolina database hoping by doing so I will fill in the links, and hopefully alot of blank spots for other in their research and find where my massive database of South Carolina Sisson families fit into fits this line. So please bear with me everyone as I hope to post alot of information and try to fill in blanks. Their is actually three Thomas Upton Sisson's that should be in this database. Janice
