  This relationship is stated in widely published accounts. BEFORE TILL has not yet examined an original record for it, so it is held as under verification rather than documented.

  Evidence for this relationship
• ParentUnder Investigation

  George Smith

  Family knowledge places Alma Carthan as a daughter of George Smith, and Find a Grave memorial 92711754 lists Alma Smith Spearman (1902-1981) among his children. A contributor-maintained memorial is not an independent record, so this generation link remains under verification.

  Evidence for this relationship

Role-based connections drawn from the records. These are historical relationships only. None of them establishes kinship.

No historical association has been published for this person yet.

• Under Investigation

  Was Alma Smith Carthan a daughter of George Smith?

  Family knowledge places Alma Carthan as a daughter of George Smith. The archive holds no contemporary record for this link, so the generation is carried as under verification.

• Under Investigation

  Was Mamie Till-Mobley a daughter of Alma Carthan?

  This relationship is stated in widely published accounts. BEFORE TILL has not yet examined an original record for it, so it is held as under verification rather than documented.

• Under Investigation

  Whom did Alma Smith Carthan marry, and when?

  The surname Carthan reaches this archive through published accounts of Mamie Till-Mobley's family. No marriage licence or census household has been examined here, so no spouse record has been created for Alma. The archive will create one when a record names him.

• Under Investigation

  Are Alma Smith Carthan and Alma Smith Spearman the same person?

  Two women named Alma Smith appear in this family's research: Alma Smith Carthan, named in published accounts as Mamie Till-Mobley's mother, and Alma Smith Spearman, the family historian whose written history the archive cites. Nothing examined here indicates they are the same woman, and the archive keeps them as separate records. Evidence entered for one is never applied to the other.
