Hi Jamie,
My great-grandfather was Addison Milton Wier, Jr. My paternal grandmother was his daughter. My father is still alive and we have many Wier pictures. My dad still lives in Alabama. I was wondering how you were related to Addison, Sr.? My e-mail is bethany-little@hotmail.com. I'd love to hear from you.
