DEES and SMILING are not names that I follow. Besides, I am here in Kyoto, Japan until next week and do not have access to my records. I definitely do not remember DEES but seem to vaguely remember SMILING as being Melungeon. I will keep a hard copy of your posting under SMILING. If there is a future connection, I will let you know.
