I would like to know if the Beem Reunion will be held this year at the old Universalist Church in Jersey TWP in Licking County. I believe it is normally held annually in August. I have lost touch with the Beem descendants that normally organize the reunion. Please contact me if you can provide this information. C. Dean Cullison 455 B.B.

I believe it was in Pataskala, Licking County, Ohio, but I am not sure. I am thinking his mother died there around 1854. I am trying to pin down just WHERE in Ohio he was born. Then I can find his parents. Supposedly, his full name was Joshua Lacey Wilson Brown, and I did notice a William Lacey Wilson in Licking a little later in that century. Does ANYONE have a hint about a connection? Many thanks!

Searching the USA kin of Max SEIDEL of Newark, Ohio. After immigration, Max changed the spelling from SEIDL to SEIDEL. He was born 1882 in Austria, and died 1971 in Newark (Licking Co.). Max worked in a glass factory as an engraver. His brother-in-law was Michael SCHMIDT, also a glass factory worker. Michael's wife was Francis SCHMIDT, born Franziska SEIDL. I have no record of Max's middle-name, being married, or having children. The 1920 Census shows Max living with the SCHMIDTs in Toledo, and both men working in a glass factory. This is the third time I have sent this message. Both prior times, only the word "Searching" appeared in the transmission. I used the same formatting as in prior years. If someone has suggestions on the "evaporating" text, I will appreciate hearing comments. William Schultz, California _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups.

To all that replied........my favorite is >>>>>>> "When I searched for ancestors, I found friends!" Family tree researchers are the best and 99% is eager to share and help. I love that. What we find is not ours to keep to ourselves. I feel it is a legacy to pass on. One of my first persons that helped me, I thanked her right away and wanted to pay her, she sent me something's. She told me that she only asked that I pass it on and help others as she did me. WOW. I have. Susan Burrier Snyder

For all genealogists. SODS LAW OF GENEALOGY: After years of painstaking research when you finally solve the mystery of the skeleton in the closet, your tight-lipped spinster aunt will sniff, "Well, I could have told you all that!" BUMPER STICKERS: Adam and Eve probably found genealogy boring. A family history shows you've really lived! A family reunion is an effective form of birth control. A job is nice but it interferes with genealogy. A new cousin a day keeps the boredom away. Add to your genealogy the fun, easy way - have grand children! Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else. Families are like fudge .mostly sweet, with a few nuts. FLOOR: (n) The place for storing your priceless genealogy records. Gene-Allergy - It's a contagious disease. Genealogical Bonsai: Little family trees. Genealogists do it generation after generation. Genealogists do it in trees. Genealogists live in the past lane. Genealogists never die, they just get filed away. Genealogists: People helping people.....that's what it's all about! Genealogists: Time unravelers. Genealogy can sometimes be a really dead end hobby. Genealogy is a family affair. Genealogy is not a hobby, it's a disease! Genealogy is the only hobby where dead people can really excite you. Genealogy is T-R-E-E-rific! Genealogy: Chasing your own tale! Genealogy made me what I am today. He ain't heavy--He's my brother's aunt's sister's husband. He who dies with the most ancestors wins! Heredity: Everyone believes in it until their children act like fools! I only work on Genealogy on days that end in "Y". I trace my family history so I will know who to blame. I used to have a life, then I started doing genealogy. I'm no genealogist. ... Until this year I spelled it "GeneOlogist!" I'm not stuck, I'm ancestrally challenged. Isn't genealogy fun? The answer to one problem, leads to a dozen more! It's hard to believe that someday I'll be an ancestor. Jeanealogy: The study of LEVIS and WRANGLERS. My ancestor was in a witness protection program. My kids will appreciate the research I've done... when pigs fly. My life has become one large Gedcom!! My problems are all relative. Old genealogists never die, they just lose their census. Only a Genealogist regards a step backwards as progress. Searching for lost relatives? Win the Lottery! Searching shipping records: naval gazing. So many ancestors...so little time! The person who said "Seek and ye shall find" was not a genealogist. Theory of relativity: If you go back far enough, we're all related. Warning: Dates in calendar are closer than they appear. We shall gather at the river (or the genealogy library if it rains). When I searched for ancestors, I found friends! Where there's a will, I want to be in it.

I put "We Are The Chosen" in a book about Mom and her 6 sisters and families for my kids and cousins. I believe you don't know who you are unless you know where you came from. I found the following at a cemetery in Detroit and used it also. One Final Gift Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by.... When loiving gifts I gave Thee. Remember now the happy times... The family ties we shared. Don't leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see... A single lasting proof that says I loved...and you loved me. D. J.

I posted this sometime ago.....but today seems like a time to post it again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------- Ancestors: you don't get any credit for them, but then again you also don't deserve any blame. Their world, the past, is a foreign country, its customs only dimly recognizable. How can we understand them or judge them? Do we ask "Did they do much with little?"? Or how about "Did they rise above the ethical challenges of their age, or succumb to the prejudices and hatreds of their time?" ? No matter. Let them rest. They lived as best they could, felt and acted as their time and circumstances permitted. Today we have only the worn photographs and a few fragmentary stories. Yet to gaze into the image of their eyes is to project ourselves through time in the most intimate kind of time travel. Under that faded image is some part of ourselves. These are the lives that lead to the lives that lead to us. Their values were surely different from ours. But the flesh and bone is there, some part of the same physical stuff that constitutes our selfhood today. They are flesh of our flesh, bone of our bones, islands in a river of consciousness flowing toward ourselves and our selfhood. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am thrilled when I can find any little bit of info on my ancestors. I want to tell their story. I want to show what should be in the --- Dash that is between the date of birth and the date of death. I found this and wanted to share....Blessings......Susan Burrier Snyder

Fellow Listers, I apologize if this is a duplicate for you. But I thought this little story sums up why we do what we do. I received it some time back and have added it to my Family Heritage scrapbook that I am working on. The author is unknown but my hat is off to him/her for putting it appropriately in words. I share it with you in case you wish to use it, too. It is pinted below my signature line.

In each family there is one who seems called to find the ancestors. To put flesh on their bones and make them live again, to tell the family story and to feel that somehow they know and approve. Doing genealogy is not a cold gathering of facts but, instead, breathing life into all who have gone before. We are the storytellers of the tribe. All tribes have one. We have been called, as it were, by our genes. Those who have gone before cry out to us, "Tell our story!" So, we do. In finding them, we somehow find ourselves. How many graves have I stood before now and cried? I have lost count. How many times have I told the ancestors, "You have a wonderful family; you would be proud of us." How many times have I walked up to a grave and felt somehow there was love there for me? I cannot say. It goes beyond just documenting facts. It goes to who am I and why do I do the things I do. It goes to seeing a cemetery about to be lost forever to weeds and indifference and saying, "I can't let this happen." The bones here are bones of my bone and flesh of my flesh. It goes to doing something about it. It goes to pride in what our ancestors were able to accomplish, how they contributed to what we are today. It goes to respecting their hardships and losses, their never giving in or giving up, their resoluteness to go on and build a life for their family. It goes to deep pride that the fathers fought and some died to make and keep us a Nation. It goes to a deep and immense understanding that they were doing it for us. It is of equal pride and love that our mothers struggled to give us birth. Without them we could not exist, and so we love each one, as far back as we can reach. That we might be born who we are. That we might remember them. So.we do. With love and caring and scribing each fact of their existence, because we are they and they are the sum of who we are. So, as a scribe called, I tell the story of my family. It is up to that one called in the next generation to answer the call and take my place in the long line of family storytellers. That is why I do my family genealogy, and that is what calls those young and old to step up and restore the memory or greet those whom we had never known before. -Author Unknown
