(Linda, if you're on this list, don't mention this to Nardi.) Over a year ago, I told my good friend that I would help her find information regarding her father and his family. I've made absolutely no progress. The man disappeared sometime around 1938 - 1939 and I can't find anything on him since my friend's birth certificate in 1936, therefore nothing regarding his ancestry. Clyde Hennessy MANESS. Born in Fort Smith, Arkansas. He was 29 in March 1936 and had worked as a printer for the Ft. Smith Tribune for five years. His residence was listed as South Ft. Smith. Married to Lila FROST. At some point, Clyde Maness was supposed to have owned a newspaper. I don't know if it would be before or after my friend was born. I don't know which newspaper, but I believe it was in Fort Smith. What I'd like to do, "with a little help from my friends", is give Nardi something - in place of her ancestry. I assume some of you research the old newspaper microfilms. What I'd like to have is a copy of a page of whichever newspaper lists Clyde MANESS as either Owner or Editor-in-Chief, or whatever. Perhaps when you put in a microfilm reel, once in a while you would think to check that little section that lists the newspaper staff? I will gladly pay costs, postage and a little extra for anything listing Clyde Maness's name. Thank you for this opportunity and any help or clues. Karla Bakersfield, CA
