MASSON Surname of Glasgow Area
« on: Tuesday 24 January 06 06:52 GMT (UK) »
Hi

Im desperatley trying to find an old buddy of my Dads who he served with in the National Service in Germany in 1958 at RAF Sylt. Alas though being Scottish he was known as Jock his surname being Masson. Being born 1936/37.

Ive emailed several contacts off another known site but to no avail. I have a brilliant photo of him aged 18.

If anyone out there knows of any MASSONS please get in touch.. This site has always done me proud in the past ..

IM DESPERATE !!!!!...... ;D ;D

Thanks

Your message caught my eye because I have ancestors whose last name was Masson.  However, it was 200 years ago. 

I haven't traced them, so it's possible they're related.  RedFox

a bit obscure, but what about the RAF. Do they keep records of address on discharge.
