I'm looking for my father's family. His father was named James Everett Smith and was born in or around Little Rock or North Little Rock, AR. in 1918. His father was James Elias and his mother was Elizabeth. She was born in 1898. James Everett Smith's siblings were Edward, William Charles, Clara, Mable, Wilma, and Ann(e). James Everett was the eldest. His mother Elizabeth had one arm and one leg- she lost both around ages 17-19 from blood poisoning. An old photgraph I have of her shows that she was fairly dark complexioned (she was part Native American- I don't know how much, but she definitely looked N.A. )James Elias (my grandfather's father) left up the Ohio River around 1927 and never returned. It is unknown whether he ran off or died. If this sounds familiar to anyone, of if anyone has advice on where I begin my seach, I would really appreciate it. My father doesn't remember his grandmother's maiden name and everyone in the family who would know is dead (to my knowledge)!
. I've traced my mother's family back to the 1400's and would really like to find my father's ancestors.
