Hi Kathy here, Not sure who you thought I am looking for I am looking for the children and wife of Howard James (Jim) Smith. His wife was Janet little, Kids are Richard , James ,Cookie and Duane who was born 7-7-1956. Have been looking since 2000 for any sign of this family, only very recently found Uncle Jim deceased , 6-29-1994. So sorry if you were on a wild goose chase for me, Oh by the way Richard's birth would be the 1st starting about 1949 the others are a give and take as for the years, we have a long sad history, with mother and Jim and another sister all being adopted out at an early age, mother found 1st Jim in 1953 then sister Lorraine, they were all rejoined with mother's other family by the same mother,Bertha Bartz Drain, OK you got the basics if you can get any farther than i have god bless ya. I am at a road block with no way around it. Thank so much for your time. Kathy Mathews [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) **************Start the year off right.
