Have a Merry Christma and a very happy new years. May be we will find out all the lost information . Are you from the same line of Smothers? I will be 75 in June and would love to know about my fathers family..and time is gettin short..I have a picture of James Sinor Marths smothers and there children..Also a picture of George Sinor and Mary Crowover..and my daughter just loves to know about these people..I am Cherokee Indian.My mother is full blooded , and Martha Smothers sure looks Indian.. Hope I dont hurt some one by saying this..a lot of people dont like to be called Indian..I am very proud to be one..My Brother is chief of the four winds tribe in LA. I was just back there in Oct.for a powwow and it was great we had over 2000 indians from all over.. Thank you again....Rita
