The Naesmyth Family Tree

The family tree provided here is intended to assist those in search of their family heritage within the Naesmyth Family. It is incomplete but for the most part, accurate. There are errors and omissions. With your help, we can make it better.

When compiling this family tree, some rules (guidelines) were needed to keep it simple, consistent and as accurate as possible. These rules are as follows:

• Rule 1 - All rules have exceptions.

• Rule 2 - Individuals whose first names are not known are listed as 'Male' or 'Female'. (i.e., Male Naesmyth)

• Rule 3 - Individuals whose surnames are not known are listed by their spouse's surname followed by '-Spouse' (i.e., Joan Naesmyth-Spouse)

• Rule 4 - Children whose surname is not known because no father is known, are listed by their mother's surname followed by '-Child' (i.e., Betsy Naesmyth-Child)

• Rule 5 - Children who are known to exist yet their forename is not known, are listed by either their father's or mother's surname (father preferred, mother's if father is unknown) followed by '-Child[ren]' (i.e., One Naesmyth-Child or Seven Naesmyth-Children)

• Rule 6 - Proper Capitalization has been attempted. As you know, there are many ways to capitalize the numerous spelling variants of Naesmyth. (i.e., Naesmyth, Nesmith, NeSmith, Nessmith, NeSmith, etc.) If you are listed with improper capitalization, we apologize. Please notify us, we will correct it.

• Rule 7 - Since the special capitalization rules of number 6 above are being used, surnames that are spelled the same, but of different capitalization are treated as different surnames.  So, if you don't find your name under 'NeSmith', don't dispair.  You may still find it under 'Nesmith'.  This is true of all surnames with various spellings and/or capitalization.

• Rule 8 - Dual (Old Style/New Style) Dates will be used for time periods requiring such. (i.e., JAN 8 1729/30)

• Rule 9 - No omissions are intentional.

• Rule 10 - Every attempt has been made to remove private information about living individuals. (i.e., Birth-date, birth-place, etc.) If you find this not to be true, we apologize. Please notify us, we will correct it.

• Rule 11 - This family tree, as all family trees, is in a constant state of change.

• Rule 12- Rules will be added as needed.

Please enjoy this information, but please do not rely on it as fact or as a means of determining inheritance. It is merely a starting point to assist in your own research.
