Hello: I found your message posted back in 2000. I am a great grand daughter of Nola George who was a Smaha and I believe Boulis's brother. What prompted me to do this search on Boulis was a conversation I had with a friend the other night. I live on St. Simons Island and she lives in Brunswick.
She asked me if I was Lebanese and told me that she was. She said her last name was Smaha and I laughed and said that was my grandfather's family name but they changed it. She said the family was from Griffin and I told her that so was mine. I told her I would do some digging cause I thought we were cousins. Her name is Amy Smaha but she is married now. She is 40.
I am in Valdosta this weekend visiting with my mother and aunts and asking lots of questions. I decided to google and your post is the first one that came up.
My mom is Clementine Georgia, and her sisters are Marie, Gloria and Barbara. Their father was Carlo George. Carlo married Sadie Mansor whose parents were John and Triza Mansor.
I know it is unlikely that you get this message since I am responding to a message you posted almost 10 years ago and I am not sure which Joe Smaha you are but I know my mom and aunts said they knew a Joe Smaha.
I hope I hear from you and you can help solve this mystery as to whether Amy and I are cousins.
I
