This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Gelnn, Smith Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/AkB.2ACE/365.1.1.2 Message Board Post: Unfortunately, my Dad said that Ella was long gone from the scene when he was born. Ella died in ca 1898 and my father was not born until 1921. He remembered visting his grandfather on many occasions but there was no one else there which would make sense. I have 2 aunts that live in Kirbyville that may know about the Smiths. They both are in their late 80's but know about a lot of other lines. I will write them both and see if they know anything or who might know.
