Surnames: Smith, Elliott, Gottfreid Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VJIBAEB/9306.9486 Message Board Post: I have been reading messages, and I am interested in the information you have about your grandmother Gertie Smith. I have been searching on my father's side of the tree and received a birth certificate for (possibly) my grandfather, Harold Thomas Elliott b.12/10/1909. His parents are listed as Thomas W. Elliott and Gertie Smith. There is an aunt listed as Forrestine E. Martin. Not sure if there is any connection, but I am still searching for any decendants.
