When wondering abpout who/what lineages have tested you can always check at the website We have a long list of who is and who is not tested.. the website: Visit Project website at: http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~bp2000/ Nelda L. Percival

Hi Linda, First, The Beatty Project 2000, (BP2000) does not have a message board. This is a mailing list. A mailing list is a way to communicate with every member of the mailing list. You send a message to the mailing list address (after you join it) and every member (including you) gets a copy. Then depending on the person's (recieving the email) interest they may or may not respond. the responce (reply) goes back to the mailing list and everyone gets a copy. A copy of all messages are also sent to the mailing list archives. (open to public review) The members of this list are really good about helping people looking for information on the well over 400 different Beatty (all spellings) lineages. Normally on this mailing list, what you put in the subject line isn't important, but it can sure help someone if you put good subject information there. You might be asking what do yoiu mean by good subject information? Well, If your asking a question about some one in your email then put that person's name and some other data if you have it.. Like - John Beatty b. 1645 Scotland need children's names. THen in the email state who what where and what you need. Some of us OLD researchers have a lot on our plates so the more info you can provide helps us find the RIGHT John Beatty. WE do prefer that you visit the Beatty Project 2000's website and spend some time looking around and being this is a private mailing list we ask that you agree not to sharee other people's research data.. WE are not saying you can't share data gathered /researched by members here..if it is on your ancestry, just that if you refer the person asking to this mailing list then others actually researching that same person can connect with the new person.. I hope this helps and answers your questions Copy sent to the mailing list Nelda L.

Daniel Fisher Beatty is part of N.J. lineage 130. I do not know of anyone from lineage 130 having done DNA testing. Pat

Nelda, I do not have a gedcom file. What is it. Later in the week I will send my info that I have. I really appreciate your work.

Hi Faith, I went ahead and subscribed you to the Beatty Project 2000 mailing list. When you write an email to the list everyone gets a copy including yourself. There are around 400 members to this mailing list and anyone of them might be able to help you. I'd say write about your Beatty line tell us who they are so if a cousin is on this list they can say hi... Do you have a gedcom file? Nelda Mailing list administrator

Please refresh my memory......... Is Daniel Fisher Beatty, the piano guy, b. 1848, N.J., Lineage 130? If not has his lineage done DNA testing? Julie L.39

I received the following query -can anyone help? - Laurel Baty, L252 I'm wondering if you have any information concerning slaves of the Baty/ Batey/Beaty clan, in particular, a mulatto named Peter? Peter was my great-grandfather, born about 1845 near Augusta, GA. He married Laura, and they settled in Webster Parish, Louisiana. His father was a successful drayman born about 1805 and was also I believe, named Peter. This Peter's wives were named Lyddy, then Martha. If you could suggest the name of his father based on records that you may have, I would be grateful. If not, thank you anyway for taking the time to respond to my inquiry. I am familiar with BP2000 and would appreciate it if you would post my query on the webpage and mailing list. I have been trying to connect the dots of my ancestry for well over 12 years now, but as you may know, records are extremely difficult to obtain and more often than not, non-existent for African Americans. I did however, submit a DNA sample taken from my brother to Family Tree DNA. The closest match was Beaty.

Hi Gerri, The BCG web page has a list of Certified Genealogists: http://www.bcgcertification.org/associates/index.php You can search by State. The only certified genealogist who specializes in Pennsylvania that I personally know is Elissa Scalise Powell. She is a highly respected genealogist. She taught several sections in the Boston University Genealogical Certificate class that I took last year. However, she specializes in Western Pennsylvania. I see from the BCG webpage that Kay Haviland Freilich specializes in Chester County research--she is a well known published genealogist. You could also search the Association of Professional Genealogists web page: http://www.apgen.org/ Although anyone can be listed on this page (no certification necessary), there are many highly competent researchers listed. The reason I suggested a certified genealogist is that I think your problem is a complex one. You need someone who is highly knowledgeable in early Pennsylvania sources and skilled at kinship determination. I am working towards certification and highly respect those who have achieved this goal!

Hi Gerry, I have also used the Ulster Historical Foundation for research and they are a reputable company. However, I agree with John's comments! I would also add that it is quite unlikely that you will find any information in Ireland based on what I know of lineage 2. You should do more research in Pennsylvania before venturing to Ireland. You money would be better spent hiring an American certified genealogist who specializes in Pennsylvania records to find information about your Beatys in Chester County. Perhaps there is some clue in early Chester County records about the Irish origin of your Beatys. There are many Beattys in Ireland in the 1700s. Distinguishing your Beaty family from others in the area would be extremely difficult. All of the lineage 2 people that you mention were likely born in Pennsylvania. You have no idea where the family comes from in Ireland so it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack. The best bet you have of finding a place of origin in Ireland is probably through DNA. Unfortunately, we don't have much participation in our DNA project from Irish Beattys. John Beatty of L24 knew the townland of origin for his Beattys before he began his Irish research. I think the Ulster Historical Foundation would take your money and tell you the research was impossible without knowing at least a county of origin in Ireland.

While the organization is reputable and led by very good people, it contracts with genealogists to do their commercial research. I had them do a report for me two years ago and was very disappointed by both the price and the amount of research I got (very meager for the amount I paid). I later contracted with a couple of different researchers through the PRONI (Public Record Office of Northern Ireland) website and was pleased with the quality of the research. I got a lot more for the money, and it was abstracted quite well. My advice is to go with a private researcher. See the link below.

Sheaniqua, I am not sure if I have the correct information, as I googled "Gibbs Plantation" and was directed to a "Gibsland" in Louisianna. If you think that information is correct, I would go to the geographic index ,which is part of the Beatty 2000 project database and look at the lineages which are located in Louisianna, and see if you see any town or county names that seem reasonable. I would also suggest you go to the Beatty message board and search for "Gibbs" Plantation. I cannot tell you where, but I thought in the past I had seen something about that plantation. There are many James Beattys, as I have one that is thought to be a part of my ancestry, but I know that he was not part of the Gibbs Plantation. I am sending you these ideas, as I am thinking, but may be mistaken, that plantation owners passed their names to those who worked for them, and that you are looking for a James Beatty. If I think of anything else, I will post another message.

Gail, et. al., I googled "kingsley beatty gibbs plantation" and got a lengthy Wikipedia write up on the Kingsley Plantation in Northern Florida. The original owner, Zephaniah Kingsley, apparently sold his plantation to his nephew, Kingsley Beatty Gibbs in 1839. A part of the original plantation is now a National Park. It is called Timucuan Ecological and Historic Preserve and is located on Fort George Island near Jacksonville. In my brief looking, I did not find any reference to the origin of the Beatty middle name. The nephew was a son of Zephaniah's sister (who married a Gibbs) so I would surmise that there was a Beatty in the near ancestry of Zephaniah and his sister. Perhaps their mother was a Beatty in England where they came from. You really need to read this Wikipedia article. This is one of the most fascinating stories about early southern plantations I have read. Old Zephaniah was quite a guy! Anyway, none of this helps Sheaniqua much. She probably knew of all this already. But, I will cc her email address with this information. BTW, unless you sent her a blind cc, she didn't get your message. You sent it to the BP-2000 list and she is not on the list, I don't believe. Les Beaty, L-20

Here is a link to an obituary for Kenneth A. Beattie. It also includes a photo. I couldn't find a match in the lineages for anyone. http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/toledoblade/obituary.aspx?n=kenneth-a-beattie&pid=149684160 Published in Toledo Blade [Toledo, Lucas County, Ohio] from March 27 to March 28, 2011 EATTIE Rev. Kenneth A. Reverend Kenneth A. Beattie, 83, went to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 26, 2011 at The Toledo Hospital, surrounded by his loving family. Kenny was born May 5, 1927 in Defiance, OH to Arthur and Florence Beattie. After graduating from High School Kenny proudly served in the United States Navy SeaBees during World War II. He then married the love of his life, Jean Gentit on June 12, 1948. He was called into the ministry and pastored churches in his 55 years of ministry in Ohio and Michigan. During his pastorates, he served in the United Brethren, Christian Missionary Alliance and Wesleyan denominations. For 12 years he was District Superintendent in the United Brethren denomination. In Toledo, he served at Harvest Lane United Brethren Church and in 2009 retired after 21 years of service at Douglas Road Wesleyan Church. Kenny enjoyed gardening, camping and spending time with his family. Along with his wife of almost 63 years, Jean, he is survived by children, Susan (Steve) Bentley, Shirley (Rodney) Stanton and Mark (Janine) Beattie.

Can anyone help Brienne? Send messages directly to her at brienne3@hotmail.com Thanks, ...Mike Allen _____ From: Brienne Leslie [mailto:brienne3@hotmail.com] To: naturalsoft@ameritech.net Subject: Hi I am interested in George Ward Beattie. Born abt 1869 in Nova Scotia. He married Katherine Duffy of Ireland. She was born abt 1868. They had a daughter - Georgette - born abt 1905. Do you have any information on that line? Thank you so much. Brienne

Yep, same for me. Had a major brick wall on my mother's great grandfather. I spent twenty years researching for some documentation to bring down that wall to no avail. But the Y-DNA test done on my uncles before the last ones passed away (Bless them) allowed us to hopscotch back two generations and connect into what has to be our line. Got a perfect match on 37 markers - on the same surname and county of birth. And I was lucky enough to connect to a line with a dedicated researcher who has taken the family back to the 17th C. Definitely worth every penny to me and then some. -----Original Message----- From: bp2000-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bp2000-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Nelda Percival Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2011 6:49 PM To: bp2000@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BP2000] WHY DNA test Hi, I wanna tell a story - Being I admin the Gilpin Ydna project my examples are with the Gilpins. Now I know, some say what's that got to do with Beattys?!! The story could be anyone, any surname.... In 1998 I started looking for my Gilpins. I had my father, Grandfather, and Great grandfather (after a lot of work) but the trail dead ended there.... This year 2011 I have finally connected to what is most likely his father through Y-dna testing. I can now spend those hundreds of hours and untold amounts of money waisted on other people's Gilpins, on my own. By tracing backwards through the DNA (perfect match) Gilpin's life I have a much better chance of finding some writen record with John G's name on it. Is testing worth it? In my humble opinion .... absolutly! I tested My brother's Y & MTDNA and my autosomal chromosomes.... and I did not waste a penny!
