Sometimes you can find individuals willing to do lookups for you, if you can home in on a county or city. The US GenWeb site is at http://www.usgenweb.org/ in case you are interested in other states. Believe you mentioned Arizona in your first post. The site for it is at http://azgenweb.org/ Good luck. Joe

Do you have an exact date of birth for her? City in Arizona where she was born? Names of her parents and or brothers/sisters? Name of the man she married (Mr. Smiley)? Her occupation? Any previous street address where she has been known to live? You can't automatically assume that she will be alive, although that certainly is a possibility.
