I have sooo many relatives whom I would love to find. I'll prolly have to do this in multiple posts.
My mother's name was Wilma Smith (Some elders called her Velma Smith--not sure what that was about). She was possibly born and definitely raised in or around Kansas City, MO. She moved to Washington State as a teen to live with her aunt (on her dad's side) & uncle, Beatrice (Smith) Perkins and Mack Perkins.
My mom lived in Long Beach, CA for several years in the 1970s. She died in 1984 (kidney failure).
Her mom was named Ora Mae Smith. Smith was her married name. I am not sure of her maiden name. She had 8 children: Agnes Marie Smith, Wilma (my mother), Ida Mae Smith, Newton LaMorris Smith, Kinsey Smith, Woodrow (I think that's a name), David and one more son that I'm not sure of. I'm also not sure of the last names on the younger boys. One of my uncles died in the late 60s while playing russian roulette.
Her dad was named Newton Smith. He is buried here in Washington State and that's all I know about him.
Grandma Ora, I only met her once, and I was under a year old when that happened (sometime between 1967 - 196
. She was murdered by her husband or boyfriend sometime in the 1970s.
My aunt Ida, I met twice. She came to Washington to visit us. She was murdered somewhere in California by her husband. I believe the last name was Campbell.
To find any of my mother's relatives would be wonderful.
