Hello all, I hope some one can help me. I am researching the family of my grandfather Alexander Massie. My gr-grandmother, Agnes Forbes Massie died May 1, 1916 at Whitestone in Maryculter, Kincardine. The informant of her death was her son-in-law, John Shepherd. Does anyone know of this John Shepherd and his family? Was the name of his wife Agnes Massie? Is anyone researching a Shepherd or Massie family from the Udny or Culsalmond, Aberdeenshire area or the Maryculter area? Any information about the Massie and/or Shepherd families would be greatly appreciated. On my grandmother's side I would like to learn about William Collie. William Collie and Jannet Gordon had a son, George Shepherd Collie, born Nov. 23, 1848 in Strachan. William and Jannet did not marry. William Collie is my gr-gr-grandfather. The only thing I know about him is his name. Thank you all for reading this rather long note. Good luck in your research. Sincerely- Dorothy Bailey Louisiana, USA dgcdmb@Bellsouth.net
