At --> familysearch.org < all sources they list 312 smales across the world .going back into the late 1500's in devon eng. Worth researching. At --> Genforum.genralogy.com -- put in the surname -> smale < and their are many many details to research . Australia seems to only have (3 ) they may have called the others - small ???? I don't know - If you send a message to " Tonkin " on this website ( he is a crackerjack on Australian research - specially Victoria ) He may be able to assist you in more Aussie details on the Smale's - Regards -
