Hi! What a shock it is to find other Smaha's out there! My grandfather was Joseph F. Smaha, from Beirut Lebanon. He was born there about 1801 came to the US via Ellis Island about 1905 or so with his brother George. They worked their way across the country and settled in San Francisco where they ran a restaurant. Then he became a farmer in Santa Clara Valley and also a well-known camellia grower. I understand we are related to Danny Thomas (real last name of Jacobs). Grampa's nephew, Fouad Samaha, lived in Los Angeles but I've lost contact with him. Any of this sound familiar to anyone? I'd like to know Grampa's ancestry before he came to America.
