So if they see this message please contact me. My name is Joseph Grohol Jr, son of Joseph & Dawn Grohol, Sr. I am the grandson of Walter J Smith and Dorothy E. Simons, my late grandmother, Dorothy passed away in 1991. I am seeking to reconnect with my cousins that I haven't seen in nearly 20 years or more. You know the story, only family gets together during weddings and funerals and holidays. I am seeking to learn what has happened to my cousins in the intervening years. The children of Walter and Dorothy Smith are: Glenn Smith (still living); Berdine Smith (still living); Sheila A Smith (deceased); Bruce A Smith (deceased); Barry L Smith (deceased); Dawn Smith (my mom); Neil Smith (still living); Melody Smith (still living). Any one with information on my mom siblings and their decendants, please post a reply to this post or contact me on either on AOL: JGroholJr or on Yahoo: joejr34
Joe, for persons this late, here are places that I would look: Social Security Death Index online for those already deceased, at: http://www.ancestry.com (free) http://www.familysearch.org (free) You can order the SSDI paperwork from the government and it will give the names of the next of kin for the person who has died. Cost is around $10 per individual. Check out the newspaper obituaries for these people. See if you can backtrack on any of the named survivors, using city directories or telephone directors. Do name searches in specific states for people. http://www.411.com (telephone) http://www.searchbug.com (telephone) Do an obituary search on www.Google.com for obituary aggregators, and then see if you can do individual searches for people. Good luck! -----Original Message----- From: gc-gateway@rootsweb.com [mailto:gc-gateway@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of joeandsteph@cqservices.com Sent: May 27, 2006 5:47 AM To: SMITH-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SMITH] Searching for my Smith Family Cousins.....
