I know that this is probably not the proper line to write to about this, but perhaps some of you might have this information-- I am looking for the genealogy of Joseph Smith, preferably back four to five generations. I am curious as to his lineage and roots. I am new to this list and look forward to sharing information concerning SHEPHERD, BATEMAN, POULSEN, MARTIN, etc.--all in my wife's line, though I don't know how many were actually handcart, I do know that some of them came across the plains and eventually settled in Alpine, UT and Bear Lake, ID areas..
