Each of us are composed of genetic material derived from our two parents, each of whom were composed of genetic material derived from each of their two parents, each of whom, in turn, were composed of genetic material derived from their respective two parents, and so on. Each of us, therefore, are composed of genetic material derived from numerous direct-line ancestors. The information in genetic material does not break down until after nearly fifteen generations. That means that the genetic material that I am composed of is somewhat the same as that of my great15-grandparents. It also means that each generation donated certain genetic material to the mixture that eventually became me. The desire to know who my ancestors were, so that I might know from whom I got my blue eyes and my propensity to be bald, is what forms the primary attraction of the study of genealogy.
My direct line ancestors bore surnames that were German, Irish, Swiss and Scottish. The pages which are attached to this page present, by generation, the lineages of various of my ancestors.
This site will usually be in a state of flux as I add new lines which I have fleshed out, and make corrections to ones which I already had.
My paternal surname is Smith, which is the Anglicized version of the German name Schmitt. My maternal surname is Nofsker, which is the Anglicized version of the Swiss name Naftzger.
Note: The dates of births shown below are approximate time ranges for the individuals who make up the particular generations. There are, of course, some exceptions to the general ranges.
