Albert Machia

Other Names: Albert Messier, Norbert Messier, Masha, Mesha

Comments: The Messier / Machia connection was brought to our attention by Tina LaForest, great granddaughter of Frank Machia. Frank Machia's wedding certificate specifies both family names. It appears that the original name was Messier, but was changed.
