My Homepage

The genealogy and research of my family has become my passion. I began my research 1984, continued off and on, but became serious about this in 1993 and have not stopped since.

At this time I have over 24,000 surnames in my data. My search has lead me to both sides of the Atlantic, with roots in Prussia,the former German State of Silesia, Germany and in the United States most of the Eastern States, such as MD,PA,VA,NC,SC,GA,AL,MS and TX.

This web site is a project under continious revision and growth.A lot of this material I researched and verified my self, but some of it I received from other researchers.When ever possible I have noted a source. If you find any mistakes or discrepencies, or wish to add new data,please let me know. If you have any questions or find we have a common ancestor, please send me an e-mail.

Please take a look at my My Mystery Photos in Texas These photos came from several Albums, one belonged to my great Aunt, FLORENCE RICHARDSON-PICKLE, the other one to her sister PERCY RICHARDSON. Unfortunately most of the pictures are unmarked, and even the few that have a name, I am unable to place in my Family Tree. I am hoping that with your help I can identify some of them and maybe even return some of them to their rightful descendants. Please let me know if you find a familiar face.

There is one other page you don't want to miss, and that is my My Mystery Graves Page Here I have listed many photos of Graves, which I took in SC and TX. Hopefully, with your help, I will be able to place some of them into my Family Tree.

In November 2003 I opend The Massey DNA Project the newest tool in the genealogical research of our Ancestors. Please take a look, we always welcome new members and are always in search of Massey men, who would like to participate. A link to join is on the Massey DNA Project page. We started with two men, and now we have over 50 DNA donors. Several of these have found matches with Cousins, they never knew existed, until now!
