28 pages are actually 2 letters, some pages missing, aunty ardene smoke's writings explains family tree as she knew it.-might be easier to read printing out, i messed up and have last page of pages first. informative, dates names places, some writers flair or licence, most of it should pan out when researched.

be sure to see after letters, new pictures and documents, very interesting and maybe humorious

last page of 8 page letter
letter to show george is nell's husband and aylene is george's mother-8 pages of peace making atempt on ardene's part ,only page 1 and 8 shown here
