I don't know much about my family tree and would like to know more. My father is Gerard Messier and lives in Texas. I have a sister Sherry Messier and a brother Troy Messier. Also a couple of nieces, Angel Payton Messier and Aspin Messier. All of whom live in Texas as far as I know. I do not know my grandparents or even if they are alive. I believe though that he was on the East coast for a long time and may have originate here (CT, MA area). I lived in CT for a very long time and I read some other posts that had info on Messier's from the Windham County area which is where I'm from. If it helps any, I'm just about to turn 32y; Sherry is 40y; and I think Gerard (a.k.a Jerry) is in his late 60's or early 70's. Last I knew, Gerard lives in Abilene, TX. If you have any information, email me (boom645@comcast.net) and let me know. Or if you can point me in the right direction. Thank you, Brie
