Hi Joseph -
it's been years since i checked this site and was reading your comments after finding more Smaha cousins - I am sad that my family line just doesn't seem to come up anywhere. Surprising, since there are so many similar family names and they were also Christians from Lebanon - did you ever run across my grandfather & his brother? (it's been awhile) they were Joseph Francis Smaha dob about 1891 in Lebanon (i believe) who came to America togerher in about 1905, came in through Ellis Island, worked their way across the country, helped run a family restaurant in San Francisco by the waterfront, finally settling in Santa Clara, CA where he was a successful fruit and camellia grower. Dod was 2-07-1959 in Santa Clara. Brother was George Smaha - my dad was Norman Francis Smaha. He is now deceased - passed away in 2003, so that's the end of my family connections. I am happy for you all in finding each other - hope someday i experience the same! Diane (Smaha) Medeiros
