Yes, but I have mine in Fayette, PA in the 1700's. The one I found for you http://search.ancestry.com/Browse/view.aspx?dbid=7667&pa...= is in Fayette IL. If you can keep digging back on this one we may be able to connect.

you were talking about a fayette, pa, that is why i wasnt sure. mine were in fayette, il. im still confused though. its been a long day!

Re: Beal Family Bible

patrioticlady — 2009-11-13 20:28:32Z

I am quite sure this is your Philip and Elizabeth, children: James, ...and Mariah. Often we find children with different names and Jas is the abbreviation for James. He was born at the right time period and it is in IL. Sometimes people were enumerated at a relatives house as well, if it is not the county you expect them in. Also, in the Ancestry index they show the wife's age as 65, but when you look closely you can see it was 26, then a 5 added, which makes total sense. You should be able to go from this and find the next census records. Good luck! Let me know what you find. Nora

Hi Daniel,
Sorry I missed your post but caught the one form the other Daniel. I have a Daniel b 1753, son of Daniel & Mehetable. It would help me to have a date for something. My line does go back to Somerset and Fayette counties, PA. I look forward to hearing from you I am sure we are cousins. I wish we would hear from the person on the first post regarding the whereabouts of this Family Bible. Please let me know about the dates.

My Name is Monica Denise Beal-Williams-Mowdy. My father was James Nathan Beal from the Tulsa area. I lost touch with him when I was less than a year old. I am sure I can't be of much help but if this is the James you are looking for and you find anything about about his family I would love to know. I found an obit for a James Nathan Beal that passed away in 2008 but the age was about right. My mother passed away 12 years ago and both her mother and father are also gone. I have no access to additional information. Thanks, Monica

Lincoln Co., NC Inquiry

Does anyone have information on a couple married in Lincoln Co., NC, ca. 1800, named Barbara Beal and Carter Guthrie?
This Guthrie line migrated to Lincoln co., NC, ca. 1796, with the Low(e) family from Rockingham Co., NC. Could the Beals have also made that move?

Re: Biel's from Uder, Germany

rossbeal — 2009-10-04 21:51:04Z

Noticed your Biel family came from Uder which is only 2.5 miles from Heiligenstadt which I believe is where my 2nd great grandfather came from. Werner Biel, his wife Theresia (Rust) Biel, along with Daughter Anna and son Andreas immigrated from then Prussia and left Bremen aboard the bark Hermine in 1852. Arrived at New York and settled in Belle Plaine, Iowa about 1854. They had 13 children.Name like many was changed to Beal at some point. Could there be a connection? Thank you

Dear Annette
I saw that you have the Dolding family on your tree,
Im related to them,
Albert Dolding b.1900 married my Great Aunt Victoria Alice Bass in 1923, she was my Grandfathers sister.
I see that you have her name as Adelaide, she was known to the family as "Queenie", would you know if she had Adelaide as another name?
She was b.1901 in Epping,Essex.
Looking forward to your reply.

Dear Annette
Thanks for your reply,
My Grandfather was Henry (Harry) George Bass b.1903 in Edmonton,London.
Queenie's daughter Doris is in her 80s now and lives in Kent, I hear from her occasionally.
There is one sibling of Queenie's still alive, Stanley, b.1916.
I have a close connection with Australia as my sister lives in Calamvale,Qld, and my brother is in Adelaide, they emigrated in 1974 with my parents, I never went with them, I live in Surrey, not far from Wimbledon.
How is Mark Dolding related to the Kent Dolding's?

I have checked my notes and can only confirm Bass, not Adelaide. I've checked the BDM and have now updated with the information you supplied. Thanks heaps for the correction. Who is your grandfather?

Re: Dolding geneaology!

Annette_Dolding — 2009-08-29 03:52:55Z

Hi Phil, I do hope we may have a connection.
Mark Dolding was my great great grandfather. He was born 5 Dec 1824 in Woking, Surrey, England. He was a builder/contractor in London building tenement housing. He married Ann Brown (or Ann Holdforth) about 1850 and had a family of 13 children. Jesse, my great grandfather was the youngest but he spoke very little of the rest of his family.

Beal - 3 Marriages in York, ME

michaeledward64 — 2009-07-17 18:23:32Z

I spent some time in the Old York Historical Society Library yesterday. It is possible there is a 'Beal' in my ancestry.

Looking through the book, The Vital Records of York, Maine, I found three 'Beal' Marriages. The first was reviewed most closely - pgs 221 & 222

Mr. Benjamin Norman of New Vineyard, ME and Miss Hannah Beal of York, ME were married on 30 Jan 1825 by Alexander McIntire.

George Beal married Mary Moore in July 1830.

Jane Beal married Samuel Fitzgerald in July 1830.

I believe Hannah (Beal) Norman might have later married Henry Atkinson. If anyone has information about this, I am very interested.

viennalovesgenealogy — 2009-05-09 14:24:43Z

Hello Fellow Genealogists!

I am trying to make a collection of Old BEAL photos (with info, as well, to put the photos in "context") as a useful "reference" tool, for us all.

I am collecting/compiling and indexing, any Old BEAL photos (up thru 1960- but prefer earliest possible) in jpeg/gif format-sent as attachment w/email to me -including as much info known about person(s) IN the photo(s)--such as

name/dates birth/death/marriage; from whom they descend (if known); whom they married, or names of children; what they did for livlihood,etc.,etc.

I will complete this project w/in the next 2 1/2-3months-and anyone who submits an image to me---will receive a compiled photo booklet and access to the BEAL Family photo/info website, when it is completed.

Also jpeg/gif images of documents/text are welcome (as again, this adds "context" to the person in photo's life)--such as scanned b/m/d certificates;
military photos; typed pages of family history; sketches of family tree image; gravesite pix; scanned images of pension/military/citizenship/medical rec-ords; yearbook photos; news clippings;or scans of family bible pages,etc.,etc.
Anything that adds to what is known about the person whose photo you are submitting!

Please make the jpeg/gif no larger than about 7x9 inches, preferably around 5x7-ish--definitely No LARGER than 2MB (not quite 8 1/2 x 11 in. size!!)

I hope to make this a really helpful TOOL for all of us BEAL --(and any related lines you wish to submit--such as those we married-in "with" or of those of surnames that married "into" us!).

Thanks ever so much---Vienna George.....

Email me (w/ text info in body of same email to which is sent as attachment the jpeg (or gif) image) to.....

Vienna_Loves_Genealogy@yahoo.com

Many thanks Cousins!!!---Vienna

NOTE: This is foe ALL LINES (& Spellings-as spelling not "set" til 1900s) of this Surname--due fact we may THINK we are NOT related-but go back further and find we come down from either the SAME patriarch or siblings----or two un-related lines intermarry--and then, of course from there on down they ARE related--and also from all originations as many families started out in one country--only to later be in another-but may be the same family after all!!

Any information or leads would be greatly appreciated.
