Hi everyone! I'm new to this list, so I thought I'd introduce myself. (Some on this list may have already seen queries from me). My name is Christy. My husband, Van, was raised in Bellefonte, PA (Centre Co.). His mother died when he was 5 years old, so he never knew her family. That's why I've started my geneology research with his mom. His mom's name was Iva Mae SMITH (b 10 Aug 1937, d Jan 1970). From Iva's SS-5, I know that her address at that time was 112 E Logan in Bellefonte Her parents were Evelyn E. BOTTORF (or spelled BUTTORFF) and Bruce Henry SMITH. My first goal is to find out if Iva has any living siblings, because they would be my husband's aunt/uncle. I've been contacted by a couple of people regarding an Evelyn BUTTORFF married to a Bruce SMITH, with 3 children named Sissy, Sonny, and Ann. I'm in the process of trying to confirm if this is the family I'm looking for - I think "Sissy" is Iva. If so, I'd really like to contact Sonny or Ann. I'd appreciate any inf! ormation, hints, and/or tips from anyone. And if anyone else is researching the BOTTORF/BUTTORFF family, please let me know. Lastly, I live near Oklahoma City, and I have family all over Oklahoma, so if anyone needs any research done in Oklahoma, please let me know. Thanks so much!
