Surnames: Smith/ Schellenger Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/2RB.2ACE/32.2121 Message Board Post: The Mormon church will have that information for you as Aesal Smith was an uncle of Joseph Smith the prophet. They moved west with him and the church. If you could go to the ancestral file as a family history center, I'm sure you would find information.My line comes through Schellenger- gideon who was the uncle of Elizabth Schellenger Smith,opr this helps.
