Thanks so much for all these answers about Golba, Smarz, Szmit, and it should be Kazmirska since it was my great-grandma Marianna Kazmirkska Golba. Other names further back in the family tree are mentioned above. Found these on ancestry, I was able to go far back with my grandfather's family, but found nothing on the Szmit or Smarz relatives on my mother's side. This forum is very helpful.
