My Father's name was Thomas Shirley Smith. He died in Warren Michigan on Feb 17th 1989. I never knew him but I am his daughter and I would like to find my family. His brothers name was Cletus Smith. Any info would be great. Thanks. Lucille

Not in Warren. To live in Warren, your last name either has six syllables or be a single syllable with all consonants/no vowels

Not too many Poles or Italians named Cletus either. Now Tony or Stan, thats a different matter!

I have relatives on both sides named Smith. It really is hard to get through them all. That being said, if you look at all the Thomas Shirley Smith records, you still really never know if any are your father.

I found an elder Thomas Shirley Smith who died in the 1950s. If this was a family name, it might be worth looking into that.
The only other one I found was a man who had a record for NSF checks, last arrested 1979 in Michigan. No other details as to age or city.
I found several Cletus Smiths. Would you have any info about his [[or your father's) location, age or occupation?

Are you sure about the date of death? Only one Thomas Smith recorded for death on that date per Ancestry.com SSDI search.

Thomas N. Smith

15 Jan 1921

17 Feb 1989
