Hello again ;-) When I wrote this a.m. re: my BECK ancestors (Gottfried, Christina, & family), I neglected to mention that one of the daughters (Clara) married an ALCORN but we don't know who. We also don't know if she was thus related, via marriage, to the young ALCORN who was killed in that tragic train accident (1909). We do know that there was a 'niece' of our gr-grandfather, Henry F. BECK (Johann Heinrich Frierich Beck) -- her name was Florence ALCORN, & she was about 60? in 1940? It is believed that she had a farm in the Blairsville area.... There was also a Clara ALCORN (born 1910) whom we believe to be a relative. Our info is very sketchy. If anyone on this List is researching, or has researched, BECK or ALCORN.... Thx ;-) \MaryLee [Phx.]
