Surnames: Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/0VB.2ACI/6991 Message Board Post: I am searching for my father, "Bertie" Hayden Smith. I am unsure if "Bertie" is a nickname for Albert, Robert, etc. He was from Salisbury, NC during the late 1940s or early 1950s. He has 3 children, Hayden, approximate age, late 50s to early 60s; Phyllis, approximate age late 50s; and Wade, approximate age mid to late 50s. My father was stationed in the Army in Fort Jackson, South Carolina during the early 1950s, then moved to Fort Lewis, Washington around 1954. It is imperative that I find him as I need some medical information. I am pending a multiple transplant and need some information from him. ANY assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
