I think if you've like me, or even most you will find some of your family lines tracable sometimes back to the 15th or 12 century and then there are others that seem to drop off the face of the earth two or three generations down the road.
That is the search for the needle in the heystack. It could be caught up in a handsketched letter that is falliing apart, stored in someones trunk, in a book somewhere, or in someone's records who could care less. but the search is certainly intoxicating..............

I too have Smith's on my family tree, many named Hyrum, ect, much of what I have jumps from America straight to England, so I'm sure my records connect to Lucy Mack Smith and all of her sons as well. This Smith line I think ties in more ligitimately than on my other side of the family that claim that an ancestor of mine was sealed to Joseph Smith............

I'm interested in tracking the Smith family history for both my mother's and father's side. My mother's line I believe is the one with possible ligitimate ties to the Smiths.

happy hunting.
