Christian von Schmuck 1370-1430.
A few years ago I received a family tree from Frank Schmuck USA.Frank Schmuck Arizona that claimed to trace the Schmuck family back to Saint Gaul, Switzerland. This information was gathered by
Brig-General Donald M Schmuck (1915-2004) "Uncle Buck" while in Europe WWII.
I do have a copy of this original Schmuck Tree and it is available to you, just send me a email.
Many of us have worked on confirming his findings which included a "Royal" link to the Wittelsbach Family, through the marrage of Joseph Franz Schmuck to Catherine von Bischy Berkenfeld (Daughter of Friedrich Berkenfeld)
I wish to present this information here so YOU can also continue the search for our original ancestors, Ron Schmuck
