			<description>Charles Henry Smith of Staffordshire, probably born around 1860, went to India and described on one record as a musician and on another, a solicitor. Family word of mouth has it that he was a solicitor. He married Rebecca Tristram in Madras and had at least two Sons in the early 1880's, Charles Henry Samual Smith and Hedley Henry Vickers Smith. He died before 1885. Any links?</description>

			<description>Hola amigos

 

I have escaped the snow and come to sunny Spain. It is not very warm but we have had sunshine today and sat outdoors for a while. No swimming in the pool at this time of the year! We have plenty of mandarins on our tree so should get plenty of vitamin c. 

 

I hope everyone is well. It seems very quiet on Smithchat at the moment.

 

Hasta  luego Gillian </description>

			<description>Hello to all. I found this website while doing some genealogical web surfing. It looked to be of interest. I am researching my family’s English ancestry. Most came from the British Isles in the 17th century. I have two Smith branches. 



The one of most interest to me, and on which I have the least information, originates with Joseph Smith. What I believe to be true is that he emigrated from England prior to 1644 with Christopher, Simeon, and William his brothers and Mary his sister: not much  ...</description>

			<description>AULD LANG SYNE



Two verses written by Robert Burns, the others are traditional.

Described by Burns as 'a song of olden times (Celtic Folk Lyrics)



Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

and ne'er brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

and auld lang syne?



chorus:

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet

For auld lang syne.



And surely, ye'll be your pint stowp!

And surely I'll be mine!

And we'll tak a cup o' kindness yet,

Christmas is almost upon us - - one more week. Hope you have your shopping doneJ This will be an interesting weekend, 12 to 15 inches of snow is predicted. Weather will be cold next week so prospects of a “White Christmas” are good.



I have been somewhat remiss in not joining in on the Christmas chat topics, not that I was ignoring them but I had nothing to add. So with that said:



I would like to wish the “Smith family”, wherever we are, a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

			<description>What does it takes to get ready for Christmas? I don’t know about you but things get hectic in early December. We spent the past week getting out decorations and putting away those pedestrian items that decorate the house for the other 11-months. Furniture moved and space made for the Christmas tree. Then searching out and finding the right tree. My wife always wants a “big” tree, full and tall. I on the other hand, look for a “reasonable” tree that fits the space available. And then there are  ...</description>

			<description>A question posed this time of year is, who is the quintessential vocalist when it comes to Christmas Carols? Now, there are many good great performers to choose from. But I believe any rational person would have to agree that he takes the award hands down. (You need to click the link and give it a moment.) 



Now if you disagree, who is your favorite vocalist?  </description>

			<description>Some of you may have read about Sophie in the papers or on the internet.

I have met Sohpie and Rob over the years at a friends house. So this came as a shock to us all.



She and Rob where walking home from my friends house which they always did when they where attacked. This was because they are and where 'Goths'.



unfortunatly Sophie never woke up before her life support was switched off.



Rob as it states is now at home and we as a family wish him a speedy recovery.
