I received this email from Michael Irvine, the Great Grandson of George Alexander Washington Irvine:
Dear Bill, I have identified Elizabeth MacKenzie, daughter of Alexander MacKenzie and Catherine McIntosh as being my great great grandmother. My great great grandfather is Angus Irvine and the husband of Elizabeth MacKenzie. I have been researching the Irvine history off and on for approx. 10 years and have a fare amount on info. pertaining to Angus's descendants. Most of the info. concerns his youngest son George Alexander Washington Irvine and his descendants. I'm willing to share this research with you and / or anyone else that have a need or interest.
I sincerely thank you for making your research available to the rest of us and commend you on a job well done. Your research has significantly opened the door for me and my family's history and I thank you for all your hard work. The MacKenzie family site is truly professional and one we all can be very proud off.
Sincerely,
Michael Irvine
