I am researching my
grandfather's family, Walter John SMITH and I was able to piece
together from what my mom remembers and family lore. I have found
Joseph in the U.S. Census from 1880-1930, seeking to contact the
grandfather's brothers and sisters, according to my
great-grandmother's obit, she is survived by 93 SURVIVORS, 43
grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren. besides her (5) daughters
and (3) sons. What I have posted is the summary of my research so far.
