Hi All, I've been pretty quiet lately...because one of my primary Beall sources, Jack Day, is now on the list. I'm letting him field the answers in which I would cite him and his execellent work. Truth is, once Jack entered the list, I refocused on the Simms, so I haven't been paying much attention. I collect info on the Sims/Simms family and compiled a fairly comprehensive database which I've now published on the Web. For grins, I added the Beall info which I've aggregated from the Beall Genealogical News, Jack's database, the Broderbund Census CD-ROMs and other wanderings about the Web over the past few years. (Note: don't even bother with the Brod. Beall families unless it's pretty clear that they've logged their families in the mid-1800's because it's likely that they've misidentified their older Beall links.) The database is pretty neat, if I do say so myself, because it's "global" view of the Bealls. A global view is less pertinent to the Bealls because of the similar naming conventions as we all know, but it's worth a look. As to accuracy, you can email me about any info. While I must take responsibility for publishing my data on the Web, I also must admit I'm just an aggregator and not much of a researcher....even in my own Beall family whose origins remain unproven. For this wacky family, I need outside expertise upon which I rely. I'm in the process of moving all my pages to another site, but you can reach the Beall search page at http://people.ne.mediaone.net/lsimms/beall0.html Hope it helps, Lisa Simms Surnames of Greatest Interest--Simms, Beall, Horrocks, Clark, Wright For now....
