While paper records only allow us to name our Schmidt ancestors back to the 1600s, Y-DNA allows us to organize a genetic family tree going thousands of years. Check out our new genetic family tree chart which includes over 130 generations of Schmidts and pre-Schmidts. Our increasingly clear view of this lineage is coming into focus thanks to the Schmidt males who have undergone Y-DNA testing in recent years.
