This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/VJIBAEB/15108.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Actually, I have the Smith side (going to the present) that stops at Charles, so I don't know much about "my" Charles yet. If you know "beyond Charles", I may be able to help on the Smith side. My gggrandmother was Sophia Smith Wittenmeyer (1823-1901). Her brother was Noah Smith (1836-1921), father of Laura Ellen (Smith) Smith (1864-1945) of Derry Twp, Mifflin County (who married Jacob O. Smith) and grandfather of a Charles Smith. For what it is worth, Laura's sister (or niece) married a Grant Clair and your message included a child named Grant (which is an unusual first name). I recently (last month) stumbled upon my Smith connection so I haven't completed a large amount of research on this branch of my family tree. I'm hoping that you might be able to identify something I've uncovered. Jim
