I somehow didn't see the inquiry from "Patrice" about the Beck Family. I did see the reply by Guy I. Colby IV, Louis Branch, and Cheryl Rothwell. I have a whole line of distant cousins sharing my gg grandfather George Wiedel/Wilhelm/WILHAM. In fact I have a genealogy study on this family who ranged from Lake Fork, Elkhart, Buffalo Hart, Cornland, Riverton, Rochester, & Buffalo, all east or North of Springfield, Sangamon County, IL. I would be glad to look up for you if you have a specific question, or can resend the original question. JOHN DEAN WILHAM
