Dear Pauline:
I can't thank you enough for your input. I'm sort of new at this - always thought my dad may have been an only child and now I'm
finding relatives!!! Hooray!!!
Don has a brother also, so now I've found three new relatives. Don is trying to remember what he can from memory because noone ever documented any of this. I started with my dad's soc. sec. #, then got a copy of his death certificate. Just on a hunch I started looking for Gwartneys - it is far easier than looking for a Smith with
a connection.
Do you have any photos of any ancestors that I could have copies of? I've always wanted to know about the other half of my family history and am starved for information!! Don sent me a photo of himself. I just LOVE having a mental image of him in my mind now!!

Talked with my mom on Sunday night and she told me she'd met Leonards mom, Nan, in San Francisco when she was traveling w/her retired (military) husband - not Henry!! So I guess Henry Calvin did have another family
after Nancy.
I have some sheets for charting the "tree" but there are alot of "holes" in this puzzle. I'm ever grateful to you for your help and hope to hear from you again.
Many thanks, Leslie (or Lesley. . .)
