I think that is really neat being a direct female descendant like that! And also unusual for the Beach family! Their were very few girls born to any of them. When my daughter married into the line last month, her in-laws were thrilled because she was bringing two granddaughters for them! They hadn't had any in that line in quite some time. Yes I have everything on computer with some paper backups. I also update and post to my WorldConnect GEDCOM often in case my computer crashes! That way I can still recover it! I found a new program called Legacy that is free on the internet and I really like it for printing data nut it is a little complicated for other things so I am still using my old one and just transferring everything to Legacy when I make changes. It has a duplicate finder that I really like. Send me what you have when you can.
