I have been looking for a very long time for my Great Grandfather John Smith. I found him last night and the verification came from Border Crossing with my Gr Grannie listing her husband as John A SMith. I had the information he was John Wm. Now that this is cleared up I have a question about the elusive Smith's of Ontario John A Smith lists his dad a Jesse Smith. From what I can find Jesse Smith died in 1926, (b abt 1850, Ontario) Windham. and buried at Vanessa (spelling) informant Avril Byers, son in law lists Jesse's dad's name as David SMith. I already have a Bates-Smith data base for my mom's side. They are the Ancaster Smiths or desendents of Jacob Schmidt Sr. Does the above Smith line ring familiar with anyone? Could it connect to the Ancaster Smith's or possible Norfold Smith's? Any help or leads are greatly appreciated.
