Christine, A little more information would be helpful. Smith's are very difficult to work. For example there are 119 Georgia Smith's living in Texas in 1930 and 1,255 James Smith's living in Texas in 1930. Moreover, my search engine doesn't allow me to find the intersection of these two sets. I do not find a Dede Smith living in Texas in 1930. Examples of useful information: What is DeDe's complete given name? Where was the family living in 1930? Where did DeDe grow up, was it in Texas? Where were James Monroe Smith and Georgia Canon Smith born? When were James and Georgia born? Where and when did any of these people die (Robert, James or Georgia)? I realize that De De may not know any answers to these questions, but if she knows just one or two answers it will be a big help. I've looked in the Birth's book for Wise County and the Cemetery Records for Wise County and didn't find any of these people listed. Dave Pitts Houston TX Hello! I am trying to find some family info for a dear friend, DeDe Hendricks. Her father lived at Gibtown when young. She thinks he was born in Wise County, not Jack County. Her father was Robert Taylor Smith b. 1885 to James Monroe Smith and Georgia Canon (Cannon) Smith. My friend was 90 in Jan and is still very alert. She was married, but never had children. She has been adopted by many of us that know her. I would love to find info to compile into a little genealogy booklet for her........DeDe is Florine McLeod (middle name) Smith Hendricks. Is there a connection between the Canon family and a hospital in your area? Thanks in advance, Christine Hyman chriesman95@txcyber.com
