From great great great grandfather and grandmothers tombstone their
first names are Joseph and Massa. Has anyone heard the name Massa
before?? I can't seem to find it in any name listings on the net.
Any information would be helpful..... Thanks!!!

Joseph's burden?RTFM and give some more background info (eg. ethnic origin etc) to work on, 'cause there are many "Massas" to chooses from. For example, Massa means:"lump, piece" in Latin
"a burden" in Hebrew
"great" in a native American dialect (hence, Massachusetts, "great hills")QED
