June 8, 2013 - Some of the Smiths had it pretty goo



This stately English manor/castle was the home of Sir Michael Smith, 1130-1192, my 29th generation great grandfather.  The castle was awarded to Sir Michael by King Richard II, c. 1180.

June 7, 2013 - Grandma Smith Huber's Grandparents


 
Please meet John Carl & Elzabeth Davis Smith.  The pictures were taken in about 1910.  John Carl's
dates are 1832-1914, so Elizabeth's would be similar.  John & Elizabeth are my 2nd generation great grand parents.  They are buried in Bennet, Nebraska (just 10 miles SE of us) and we visited the cemetery and found their graves and have pictures of same.  Exciting find.

June 6, 2013 - ONE OF MANY



 
 
Between the Smith family on the Reichel side and the Kiger family on the Lininger side, we have an unbelievable number of Kings & Queens in our ancestry.  I am keeping track of them.  They range from the English/Scots/Irish all the way to the Byzantine Empire and Ethiopia.  Above is King Edgar Aetheling of England, king for all of 2 months and his consort Queen St. Margaret of Scotland, who also married King Malcom III of Scotland.  The building is Chateau de Cartel, in Auvergne, France, home of Vicomtess Adyle Agnes de Cartel.  All three of these folks are 30th generation great grand parents to me.
