Surnames: Powell Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/WOBBAIB/5183 Message Board Post: I have been looking, unsuccessfully, for some time now for information regarding my great-grandfather's family. My grandfather died at age 28 and so I have had little contact with his family. My grandfather's name was Billy Jim Powell (actual name). He was born around 1933 in WV, I think the Athens, or Bluefield area. His siblings were Junior Powell and Becky Powell. His father's name was Harold Randolf Powell and mother Gladys Edna Bennett. I am pretty sure they all lived in the Athens area of WV. I would love to find out more info. Thanks. Scott Powell spowell_40@hotmail.com
