Hi, First and formost Mike Allen does the Beatty Project 2000 website, not me! And we all appricate his work! Normally to start you would join the mailing list and send them a copy of what you have. So they can help you figure out which lineage you are. Do you have a living male Beatty? It would be good to do a 37 marker Y-DNA test. Nelda L. Percival ~o~o~o~o~o0o0o0o0o0o~o~o~o~o Nelda L.

I would like to become active in the site but not sure how to find the proper linage.  My wife's gggrandfather was John Hamilton Beatty who was born and lived in Mifflin County.  He was born in 1823. How should I proceed? Happy New Year to you.
