    1. [NJUnion] Smith of Rahway
    2. Looking for any info on a Smith family, originally from Fraserburgh, Scotland. In 1885, James Smith (1862-) married Margaret Prahm (1864-). The family immigrated to NJ at different times (1911-1920), and settled in the Rahway area. Their children include: 1. Margaret Smith (1886?-) + Robert Tait 2. James Smith (1889?-) + Jeannie 3. John Prahm Smith (1892-) + Isabella Findlay 4. Robert Smith (1892?-) 5. Jessie Chiors Smith (1896?-) 6. Jemima (1900?-) 7. Alexander Smith (1902?-) According to a cousin, "Jim Smith (James) lived in Rahway, New Jersey. He had a large building there and sold a product called Fertile Soil, sold to golf courses and also chemicals to mix with it. My husband being an avid golfer and retired golf teacher remembered him in the late '40s or early '50s still doing business in Rahway. I'm not sure about their children. There may have been a son and a daughter, Alex and Margaret." I'm guessing this Jim Smith must be the son? I have photos of Robert Smith and Marion Smith in 1934 elementary school in Rahway. Not sure who their parents were. <A HREF="http://members.aol.com/rlcww/photo1.htm"> http://members.aol.com/rlcww/photo1.htm</A> Anyone know them? ---Robin
