OK, I added my twig to the Mason tree. Not sure that I did it correctly as this in my first introduction to the Name Study concept. Thanks for your work! Wayne (Larry Lee Mason) Mattox

I've heard mentions of the Decoursey ged com on G2G, but this is the first I've seen anything from it. Is there a reason these sources haven't been added to Mason-167?

By the way, thank you for responding. I'm sorry if I sounded brusque in my response earlier. I was distracted at the time and when I looked back at it, I thought I "sounded" a bit grumpy, I did not intend that.

The DeCoursey ged was one of the first gedcoms added when the site started up.  It is mostly correct, but not well sourced.  When you come across a profile, it should be edited and sources added.  I was asked to leave the DeCoursey note on the profile for now.  I have run across a lot of DeCoursey profiles.  I believe the originator is no longer living.

Also, my family married into the Mason family in Pennsylvania.  I will add what I have to the project.  I believe they were English, but I will have to check.

Sarah,

No problem.

Lucy,

Thank you. Where on the profile do you normally leave the note?
