There are a couple more generations of his family on Family Search.
To connect to the WikiTree world tree I did find one route.
From Benjamin to his brother, Louis B. Novak (1916-1991). Louis' wife was Myrtle Ruth Toms (1918-1983) (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/MZJ5-CYF) . Her mother was Ina Bell Ritter (1888-1984) and then 6 generations up the Ritter family tree is Daniel Ritter (1692-1743) of Salem, Mass. who is already in WikiTree at: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ritter-2019 and is connected to the world tree via his son Mosses Ritter.
