Hello

I am trying to find the parents of the following children.

Daniel Masset born abt 1888 in NYC, Daniel didn't remember if he was born in Brooklyn or the Bronx,

May C. Masset born abt 1890,

Frank Masset born abt 1896

Katherine born unknown.
Frank and Katherine are half siblings to Daniel and May.

Daniel and May's mother died when they were very young and their father refused to ever talk about her. When Daniel was older he asked relatives about his Mother, he was told he didn't need to bother about his Mother. Both Children were christened in the Catholic Church. Daniel remembered his mother's funeral. Said that his father and Priest got into a fight and his father knocked down the Priest. So after they left the Catholic Church and went Episcopal.

Their father owned a Demolition Co. in NYC and I was told that he had his picture taken in front of the Old Tombs Prison for a newspaper.

Daniel Francis Masset married Josephine Leister and had Mary Joann and Daniel Francis.

May C. Masset married Henry F. Granser. They are listed on the 1920 NYC, Queens Census. One daughter is listed Marie age 6.

Frank Masset married Hannah. They are listed on the 1920 NYC, Bronx Cenus. Their known children are, Katherine born abt 1916, was told she was blind, Frank born abt 1918 and Bertha May born unknown.

Katherine, I do not have any information for.

If you have any information on this family please contact me.

Thank You
Reynda
