Hello Robert,
I already spoted you on internet recently and I know you are 29. I am 59 (could be your father!) and I am leaving in the south of France.
It seems there is two different branches of Smewing's in UK;
one in Berkshire and one in Kent. Maybe they have parted long time ago from the same line. Quite a number of Smew' related to my side have been migrating to the States.
My cousin Dave Smewing who is leaving in Berkshire has been working on our genealogy and is very conversant with the family history.
My email is
robertsmewing@voila.fr if you need more infos.
Cheers Robert (Bob)
