Hello, my name is Ronald K Smith. I am researching my CATE ancestors.
Below is the only information that I have at this time. I have just
recently started my research effort into my family history, at this point I
am looking for my great-grandmother's family, CATE, Mary Pearl. Perhaps
someone on the CATE list can help me make a connection. If so, I would
enjoy corresponding with you and sharing information.
Thank you,
Ron Smith.
