Shem, Ham and Japeth

Genesis 10:32 "These are the clans of Noah's sons according to their lines of descent within their nations. From these the nations spread out over the earth after the flood."

Ever wonder just which of these sons you might be descended from, because it will be one of the three. But which one? We may never know, as genealogy, takes alot of time, research, and patience. Sometimes you might get lucky and find a part of your family line that has already been well researched and you can follow it back for many years...other times, mostly, it is very slow going and you bump into alot of "tree stumps" along the way.I will share this from what I have researched so far and let you study it on your own. I am going to take you back to the year that Shem was born, which from records I have seen, say it is in the Jewish Calender year of 1558, which to us modern humans, is 2203 BCE.

So assuming you can take your lineage back far enough to what race of people you come from should tell you a little bit about your family tree as well as what son of Noah you come from. Now there are those of us, like myself, who are so mixed, that we can probably say we come from two of the sons of Noah, if not three. Look for my post in Jan. 2009 that goes into more detail with the sons of Noah and how they repopulated the earth.

Genesis 10:1 "This is the account of Shem, Ham and Japeth, Noah's sons, who themselves had sons after the flood."
