Hello Beebe listers, I would like to introduce myself to you all. I am Sharon, your new list administrator. I took over these duties this past week. I am not new at administrating lists for Rootsweb, having done it for a couple of years now. I tend to be easy-going in my administrating duties, but do expect everyone to comply with Rootswebs rules and regs. These are stated in the AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) of Rootsweb at the following URL: http://www.rootsweb.com/rootsweb/aup.html . My few expectations of everyone are the following: 1) Stay on topic (in this case, the Beebe surname) 2) no flaming - play nice :-) 3) Make any complaints about the list to me personally and not on the list. 4) Absolutely, positively NO posting about anything to do with viruses - no warnings, NOTHING!! This one I am a stickler about. If there is a virus problem that you believe has to do with the list, send me a private email about it. Now about me: My connection to the Beebe line is through my 2nd great-grandmother, Julia Ann Beebe, who was born in Morgan, Ashtabula Co., Ohio. She was the daughter of Moses O. Beebe and Amelia Van Tassel of New York. Moses was the son of Nathan Beebe. I do have quite a bit about this line of Beebe's. I have access (for a few more weeks) to the various Beebe genealogies that have been published and are on file at the Library of Congress. If there is something you would like looked up, please let me know and I'll do my best. I can also do pension records of Beebe Civil War soldiers for the next few weeks. I do not make any charge for my lookups, but if there are fees I must pay on your behalf, I do expect to be reimbursed. Sharon List Admin, BEEBE surname

Welcome as the new List Administrator. I am related to the Beebes through my mother Beulah Eileen Beebe, Frank Wallace Beebe, William Wallace Beebe, Daniel P. Beebe (born, 26 Sep 1809 in New York and died Dec 1881 in Kankakee, IL.) I currently have nothing further back but my real problem is my Grandfather Frank Wallace Beebe. He apparently left Paullina, O'brien Co., IA shortly after my mother was born in 1910. I was always told that he died of some wide spread illness going around, but his name appeared in his father's obituary as living in or around Omaha, NE. in 1924. Any suggestions? I have posted this request previously on the BEEBE-L list.
