Smith</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Hi, all</DIV>
<DIV>I never did anything like this before, so please bear with me.
Besides being ignorant about genealogy I am a computer dummy, self
taught.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My paternal grandmother's maiden name was Bertha Avis Robinson. She
was born in Missouri in the 1880's, we <U>think</U> in Grundy County.
She married Irvin Hugh Smith, we <U>think</U> in Portland Oregon (Multnomah
County). I have searched all the *free* Oregon and Northwestern
data banks I can find and can't locate a marriage certificate, license,
or record of any kind. I can no longer drive, so that is also a
problem. Irvin Hugh Smith was born in 1880 in Canada, we <U>think</U> in
St. Johns Newfoundland, and I can't find him either. Haven't been
fighting that so much because of his common name, hoping to sneak up on him
via my grandma.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All your ideas are most welcome. I would appreciate any help anyone
can give.<BR><BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
