* Renfro, Woolem, Goldsmith & Yancy Families*

Updated February 18, 2005


Who Am I?My father was born John Bradford Hayes b: 25 Jan 1923 in Oakland, CA. Mother was Wanda Winifred Renfro b: 26 Feb 1927 in Creek Co., OK. I was born Donna Irene Hayes 27 May 1945 in Santa Ana, CA.
Shortly after my father's death in 1983 I found among his papers "Letters of Guardianship" from Humboldt Co., CA. giving Herbert Eugene Goldsmith to Lydia Corinne Hayes in Feb. of 1927. Curious I sent off for his birth certificate and found his parents were Dorothy Goldsmith "age 17 last birthdate" birthplace Altamont, CA and his father Frank Yancy "age 18 last birthdate" birthplace Idaho. My fathers name? HERBERT EUGENE GOLDSMITH born at the Evangeline Booth unwed mothers' home in Oakland. So I am trying to find my new family lines... but who am I now? If Frank and Dorothy would have been married, I would be Donna Yancy or since they were not, am I Donna Goldsmith?
I have since found Dorothy and her sisters Vera and Winifred were all born in CA. I found on the internet a grandson of Vera's who told me the girls parents were Frank Goldsmith and Annie "Pearl" St.Clair and even sent me some of her lace handkerchiefs from the late 1800's. I have visited Pearl and Vera's graves in Sacramento, CA. I have recently found Dorothy is buried at he IOOF cemetery in San Luis Obispo, CA. She was living in Nipomo, CA when she died.
Can you help me find Frank Yancy b: abt 1905 & Dorothy Goldsmith? She was Dorothy Passmore when she died in 1947 at the young age of 39. Can you help me find my family?
