I found your posting, and it struck my eye. I have been searching for records of my grandfather, Oren Smith, who died in late 1929, when my father was a few months old. He was told that he had been given the middle name "Frankling" from his grandfather. I don't know if it is the same Oren Smith, son of Frank Smith, that you mention in your querry. I would love to hear what if any info you have regarding Oren.
