We originally posted the Tomaszewski Family Tree as a single webpage that grew to contain over 200 printed pages. At that point we decided to restructure the page because it was getting out of hand and taking much too long to download. Part of the results from that effort follow. Should you find errors or omissions, you can still refer to the original webpage.
Please Note: Throughout this genealogy a left handed prefix (1234_____) is a birth; a right handed prefix (_____1234) is a reference from a later relationship event (typically marriage). All references are bolded, and equal numbered left and right handed references (or just plain references - 1234 ) are always the same person. Use your browser's Find button to follow a lineage using the reference numbers (or follow the links on some individuals for pictures, or lines). Scroll to the bottom of the page for links to other family tree branches.

An article from the Northport Ledger published May 28, 1931.
Probably the oldest grave in Northport cemetery will receive homage, Memorial Day, when members of the American Legion will place a flag at it's head. John Powers born in 1789 and died in Northport 1856 lies in the family lot of Rev. George N. Smith ( 1360 ) and was a soldier of the war of 1812. Powers was the father of Mrs. Arvilla Powers Smith ( 1351 ) and during the last battle of 1812 Mrs. Smith, a child of seven year s, witnessed this battle from a hillside overlooking Lake Erie. She was taken there by her Grandfather, David Powers ( unknown ), a soldier who fought with Washington ( unknown ) under General Stark ( unknown ).

Several mathematical theorem indicate that each person on earth could demonstrate a direct link to any other randomly chosen person on earth using six to eight links, using a friend of a friend of a friend . . . type of connection. This suggests that four to nine more generations of genealogy are needed to make a similar connection between any two randomly choosen people on earth as relatives (I actually think the range must be one higher, but canšt prove it yet).
