Looking for Info. on Houlihan/Smith in NY Areas Please....
Hi All! i am desperately trying to find my Grandpa's sisters. I am Praying that they are all still doing well and I can find them. I remember them as a child, but I lost my memory in a bad car accident in 2001 and haven't been able til now to do this. I would really like to have them back in my life and try and put a family tree together for my children. Here is all the information i can recall... Any Help is so greatly appreciated.
Sorry this is so long of a post ~Shanan
My Grandpa is (Frank Joseph Smith dob 08/17/1924 or 1927 in NY)His mother was "Agnes Houlihan". she and her 2 sisters came over from Ireland to NY and ended up in a Catholic Orphanage. I guess they were raised there, and I only know here one sisters name was Margarete. Agnes married Frank Grant Smith who they said was a Steeple jack (?)He had a brother named Joseph (joe) Smith. My grandfather had 5 sisters : he called one Honey, Helen, Ruthie (I think she lived in Louisiana), Marie (married a Tom smith who is a Painter or artist), Jeanette (Jean).
My Grandpa served in the Navy in WWII,and then married my grandma Mary louise (chitty) Smith from Moultrie, georgia. They had 3 children Patricia Louise, Frank J. Jr., & Randy Clayton Smith. He passed away April 7 1997 in Marietta, Ga. My mother had me (Mary Shanan (Ward) Smith 10/22/1970 "yes" I married a smith HA!HA! and my brother Thomas Oscar Ward III. I have 5 children and live in NW Michigan.
