Baptized in Jesus' Name you take on a new birth. Then you will be heirs of Abraham! You will inherited all the blessings from God!
Follow Acts 2:38 Read from Acts chapter 1:-)

Are you serious?

Genesis? Or Smith

Adam and Eve had no last name it would be in the bible if they did :) read the bible

People didn't have last names until the Middle Ages.

McNabb

Their last name had to be Primo... yes that is it. Adam and EVE Primo! Or it could have just been first......... or maybe Apple... yes that is what it was Apple named for the fruit that caused all that trouble.

I regret to inform you that the surname concept was only adopted in most of the western world between 200-800 years ago. Hence, Adam, Eve and the first 40 generations of their descendents did not have a surname. It may get difficult for you after 1400, but if you find records back to the 700s you're doing exceptionally well. After that, it's impossible to separate one Levite from another without being fluent in ancient Aramaic.

sorry no records after Noah's floor--they all washed away

they did not have one

it wasn't until the 50B.C. until people started having last names. even if they did have have last names it would be mentioned in the bible. EX: Mary Magdelaine

they didn't have last names back then. when someone introduced themselves back then they would say "i am adam son of john" john being their father. and that is actually how last names became. cause later on they stopped saying "son of" and just said their fathers' name.

You can't do that. You would do good getting back to the 1600s. If you can make valid links to a royal or noble line, you might get back to the first melennium.

People did not have last names (surnames) in Europe untill about the 14th century and still there were many changes. When surnames were taken or assigned legitimate sons of the same man could all have a different surname but each shared their surname with others with whom they were not related.

They took their names indicating they were the son of someone, their occupation, where the lived, or some characteristic about them. For instance, John had 4 legitimate sons, Henry, George, Sam and Robert.

Henry, if he could write, signed his name, Henry son of John. When surnames were taken or assigned he became Henry Johnson or Henry Jones.

George was a blacksmith and if he could write he signed his name, George the Blacksmith. He thus became George Smith.

Sam lived on or near a hill and became Sam Hill. My maternal grandmother's mother was an Overton. It simply means over town. You can imagine how many people lived over a town that became Overton. Some people took the name of the town and some of a castle they lived close to and a person can make the mistake of thinking just because they have the same surname as the castle, that their ancestor was related to the lord of the manor.

Robert had black hair and he became Robert Black. He could have been Robert Short or Robert Stout.

There are no documents that can trace your family back to any Adam and Eve.

If you look at family trees on any website, you might see where silly people have their family trees going back to Hannibal or Julius Ceasar. However, most of the trees on any website,free or paid, are not documented or if so, poorly documented.
Even when you see the same info from many different people, that is no guarantee at all that the info is correct. A lot of people copy without verifying.
