Hello TIGS List participants: I currently reside in the North East Ohio area but am originally from Ionia County, Michigan. Michigan is where my ancestors migrated to in the early 1800's on my father's side and early 1900's on my mother's side. Currently, I am pursuing my ancestors on my mother's side in the Beckett or Becket line. I keep a genealogy website at www.simmonsgenealogy.com with limited information on the Becket line. Of immediate interest is my 2nd great-grandfather Oliver Becket b. abt 1835 in Ireland and is believed to have immigrated into the US around 1853, port of entry is unknown. Also, is believed to have immigrated to Canada shortly after that. He was married around 1855 to a lady named Margaret b. abt 1835 of Ireland also. They have 3 children that I know of, named: Samuel b. abt 1859 in Canada, Edward b. abt 1861 in Illinois and Margaret b. abt 1868 in Illinois. If anyone can help me find additional information about this family I would very much appreciate hearing from you! Thanks in advance! Wayne Simmons from Ohio and Michigan
