I recently learned about a genealogy site called DistantCousin.com . Selected city directory lookups are free. www.distantcousin.com/Directories/ There were 20 hits for the Sisson name, many on the East coast. I just looked up a few in the Midwest. In the Council Bluffs, Iowa, 1929 City Directory, I found: -ARTH Sisson (Ione) millwright h 1800 Tostevin av -EDWARD D Sisson (Viola) machinist CGW h 119 12th av And in the 1914 Omaha, Nebraska city directory, the names of: -PAUL B Sisson, city editor Om Daily News, r 5140 Davenport -RALPH Sisson, clerk, WOW, r RFD 2 -Wm. A. Jr. Sisson with H H Harper, rms YMCA Laura Sisson-Thompson, Racine, WI
