 My Massie Family Heritage

 

A very heartfelt and gracious thank you to Dr. S. Powell Massie of Piney River, VA.

Powell elicited my spark for Massie geneology back in 1976 when he distributed his typewriter generated

version of our Family History.  He has since dedicated so much of his life to furthering this research.

I pray for his continued health, and that his efforts will soon become readings he can

share with his extended Massie family.
