My step father, John Theodore BEAVER, passed away Monday morning, Feb. 28, 2000. Since retiring a few years ago he spent most of his time doing genealogical research. He was working on the BEAVER, DUNLAP, WILLIAMSON, CLINE, STEED, SHUMAN, LEE, BREWER, VIRDEN, and other lines. He had received a package of genealogy from a fellow in Oklahoma just the other day and Fran Weekly stopped by yesterday afternoon with some genealogy for him. I will be spending a good bit more time working on his lines along with my own, as I am retiring on May 1st. I would appreciate hearing from any of you who may have known or worked with him on research. I will have or have access to most of his records. My lines are GRAMMER, CIZEWESKI, CHRISTMYER, ROTH of Belmont Co, Ohio and Ohio Co, WV as well as HUGHES, ROSEBERRY, KNAPPENBERGER, GOSSETT, STEWART, HAWKINS and KNOPP of Mason & Jackson Co, WV.
