This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Birth Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Xgk.2ACEB/7748 Message Board Post: I am in hopes of finding you. We need information about the birth of James Beard. We know that the birth mother used the Beard name and information, for his wife Betty. They are both deceased. As a family friend at that time in Dallas. I was thinking that maybe you could shed light on this. I am JoAnn, J L's daughter. I lived in Tulsa at the time that they moved to Dallas. I am aware that you moved with them. with Betty, her son, Larry, and J L. It seems that Larry made a sacred promise to his mother that he would not ever tell the identity of the biological mother. Since Betty is deceased I feel that would be a mute point. Don't you? But any way. Contact me. Would like to here from you, even if you don't have any information concerning this matter. It would be fun to hash over old times and catch up on each other's lives. JoAnn L. Hart
