Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Wiess Kyle Jr. entertained Tom Cloud and his mother, Mrs. Gloria Cloud, at their beautiful wildlife ranch in South Texas, September, 10, 2003.  Here is a  report of our visit and some information we learned about Massena Wiess' branch of our Wiess family.
Wesley is a great grandson of Massena Wiess, the youngest son of Simon Wiess and Margaret Sturrock.  Massena and Elvira Elizabeth Janes had seven children:  Edward, Sarah Nevada (Mrs. Norman) Cook, Clyde (Mrs. William) Kyle, Everett, Blanche Imogene (Mrs. John) Elam, Iva (Mrs. Frank) Votaw and Evelyn (Mrs. Virgil) Keith.  
(Of the children of Massena and Elvira Wiess, the only cousins we've found are those of Clyde (pronounced "Clydie") Wiess and her husband, William Wesley Kyle.  If you know of the descendants of any of the other children, please contact me.)

WARNING: Each of these clips is over 9 megabytes in size but only 30 seconds in length.  They were taken using a digital camera and aren't very good -- the person who took them (me) was a rank amateur, plus he didn't know how to make the camera work.  He also does not know how to make them any smaller -- suggestions solicited.
