After looking for maternal family for three years, I shifted to paternal
side. I was raised by mother(rarely saw paternal family) and am severly
informationally challenged on paternal family which is unlikely to change.
I found paternal name of Cline pretty easily going backwards from great
grandfather but still have gaps with coming forwards. I ordered my
grandfather's death certificate and alas his spouse my grandmother had the
last name of Smith (you know what that means in research) LOL!
My mother believes my grandmother had siblings in Texas whom she visited
often by bus.
Grandmother depending on record was:

Francis Lousie Smith Cline per death certificate
Francis Louisa Smith Cline per social security application

she was born in Sept. 1905

in Blytheville, Arkansas per death certificate
in Unknown, Arkansas per social security application

she died in 1989 in Pensacola, Florida

Her father was:

Amaziah Smith per death certificate
Amaziah Smyth per social security application

Her mother was:

Jennie Belle per death certificate
Jenny Belle Wells per social security application

She married Samuel Andrew Cline. I believe she had four children: Barbara,
Patricia, Buddy and James Edward (Sonny) my father who was born in 1935. I
was born in 1961.

Any information or leads would be appreciated.
