I would like to get more people interested in Severs Genealogy. As a means of encouragment, I have some old FTM software that I can donate to interested persons who have no computer software or want to try FTM (Family Tree Maker) software. I have a backup copy of my new Version 11 and might use it for the same purpose. If you have some Severs Genealogy post it on this site and make any querry you would like. This list needs some encouragment. I will also help with lookups and assistance for anyone interested. If you know a Severs researcher who has no computer , lets get them one. WWW>Computer geeks.com has some usable computers with modem and internet ready that are nearly as good as the one I am using for $200 always and sometimes under $100 without shipping costs. Not sure where they ship from. They refurbish trade ins from companies and the processors are usually Pentium III or better. I have a usable Pentium notebook with two batteries for $125, genealogy software loaded and a lot of data installed. Windows and Laplink software. Best Charles Severs Charles Severs

T his seems to be a Beets family who intermarried with Seversand Lamar as well as Olney in the area of Anderson County TN in the mid and late 1800s. I have little info about them but some on Lamar and Severs in the same area.Possibly someone in the Beets family can fill us in a little on the 3 families.
