Surnames: Smith Poitras
I know almost nothing about the one side of my family, and I'm looking for any information on Marie Clemence/Clemins Smith/Poitras. She would've been my grandmother, and her late husband Omer Prosper Poitras would have been my grandfather.

I'm new to this type of research, but other than her death certificate, I can't seem to find anything on her. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I try to find out who my family is.

The only little shred of information I have, is that her father's name might be "Edmo (Edmond?) Smith".

--->Marie Poitras/Smith<---

Born: 28 Mar 1913 in Warwick, Alberta

Died: 20 Dec 1996 Burns Lake, British Columbia

Married to: Omer Prosper Poitras b.30 Mar 1912 d.13 Apr 1977

Thanks so much for the information. I was able to also find the death certificates of other family members, which helped tremendously.

Still no luck with Marie Smith, but I've contacted the Alberta Genealogical Society for a helping hand. I might even start cold-calling to try to find relatives.

I'll post any information here if/when I gather more information.
