I am a niece of Mike Barson of Canton, Ohio. He was married to my fathers sister Reba (MALERNEE) ELEFANTE-BARSON. She was the widow of Joseph ELEFANTE. Mike & Reba had 4 children: Lucretia Georgina (named for her grandmother), Michael Richard Jr, Rose Marie & George Anthony. I am in contact with Rose Marie and just visited with her in Sun City, CA. last month. I'm sort of the family genealogist and have recently been working on the Barson's for Rose. She had no information on her cousins. I found Mike & Lucretia Barson (the imigrent grandparents) on the 1920 & 1930 Census'. Rose had one picture of each of them that I have loaded into my computer system. Granddad Mike is holding baby Lucretia "Lou". Rose also loaned me several pictures of Uncle Mile with his motorcycles and several of him in WWII and some of these with his brother Steve. Any information or pictures you would be willing to exchange I can pass on to Rose and/or ask her permission to give you her e-mail address so you can also exchange information with her. Do you have any idea or information on the original spelling of Barson before coming to America? Any idea of what grandmother Lucretia's maiden name was? I show Granddad & grandma Barson's children as: Rose, Lucretia, Nick, Anna, Martin, Mike & Steve. Ancious to hear from any Barson cousins.
