Description: Sometime around the mid-1970’s JoAnn became interested in her and Larry’s family history. According to her letters to other researchers, she began collecting information on the Albert Paris and Mary Jane (STROUP) Missey family, her husband’s family in the late 1970’s. 

She expanded her research all the way back to Jacques Missier and all the other allied families.

Some of the other researchers she wrote to were Lois Stanley of St. Louis and Barbara Klingelsmith-Giesert known as BKG in her correspondence from Marietta, Georgia.

I, as a latecomer on the Missey family did not connect with JoAnn until around 1983 when I wrote to her expressing my interest concerning the Missey family and she sent me this huge 4” packet of papers, documents, maps, correspondence and articles concerning our common Missey ancestors.

The material was so condensed it blew me away. I was not prepared for such a huge onslaught of material and being preoccupied with other “projects” at the time, I was in no position to even begin to investigate this material and I didn’t get around to her material for another 10 years in 1992!!

This book is a compilation of some of her research material as well as other Missey family researcher’s material
