Sheila Elinor Johnson is a native Chicago, Illinoisan. She is the third child of seven children born to Edward and Julia Johnson. Sheila married three times and had three daughters and they gave her ten grandchildren, and two great granddaughters. She had one daughter with her first husband Robert M. Martin, Julia Angelina Martin. She had two daughters with her second husband, Joseph T.L, French, Monique Andrea French, and Jonet' LaMarra French. She married Paul Edward Smith and there were no additional children. Sheila began a career in Nursing and retired as a Nurse Educator after 31 years of service. She began researching at the National Archives, helping her brother Edward, locate the maternal grandparents living in Pennsylvania. The family was hidden by using their middle name as given first names, but reaching in the Census, located them using their first names. After finding the family in the early 1970's she did not begin research until 2007. Sheila joined the Afro American Genealogical Society of Chicago, Inc (AAGHSC) where she began learning research techniques. She served the Society on a variety of committees, as Chairperson of the Mississippi Study group, served on the Board of Directors and as President of the Society.
IN 2015 she added DNA as a research tool and located her father's maternal gr gr grandparents, Alfred Allen and Emily Robertson, whose names she had not known before. She is seeking to indentify her father's paternal gr grandparents.
She began researching to learn about her paternal grandfather, Elliott Talmus JOHNSON, born in Mississippi and migrated to Chicago in about 1917.
