Hi Faye, I hope 12 years isn't too late to respond to your message:-)
I'm the daughter of Fred Becks who you mention in your note to Cindy Carlson. Lots of Freds and Bills in the line up! I remember Dad visiting with Bill and Chick at various times. One in Munising and one in Manistique, I believe. I have a Becks family tree on Ancestry which is public. Easiest way to find it is to search for Frederick W. Becks born 1877. Heading to Manitoulin this summer and have been tracking down Grandpa Fred Becks' siblings and their spouses, etc. I'm not sure I have everybody on your Grandparents' branch. See what you think.

Hello Cindy, Nothing like replying to a message 12 years after you wrote it! Was just checking the message site for Beckses and came across your message and correspondence with Faye. I'm the daughter of Fred, noted in your message. You must be one of cousin Bill's daughters...

I have lots and lots of info on both sides of Dad's and Uncle Bill's family. Interested?? Contact me patkaas@att.net

Regards,
Pat

I would be so greatful! My email is: patkaas@att.net

Little Current on Manitoulin Island is where Wm. H Becks and his family settled.

Oh, and Hephzibah and her husband Jesse Smith were in Little Current with Wm. H. in 1891 Jesse Smith died there in 1894 (I think).

I'm just about to go to bed so will scan and send tomorrow if you send your email address.
Mine is

Somewhere among Dad's papers is a letter from one of my Gran's relatives who'd emigrated to Little Current around 1900, possibly related to the person you mentioned?

OHH! Exciting!!! Could you scan the photo and send as an attachment? We seem to be of the same generational line...my Dad's Dad was Frederick William Becks son of William Henry Becks brother of Thomas and also son of James Coleman Becks. I can give you my email if that would work. Take a look at my Becks Family tree on ancestry to see what happened with William Henry Becks' family after he went to Canada. I have some pictures attached to it. None of Wm. Henry, though :-( I am so glad to hear from you. I've been working on the Becks family and have been totally unable to get back before James C's marriage to Hephzibah.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon! Pat

My great-great grandfather. Dad's mother was Annie Susanna Becks, daughter of Thomas Becks, son of James Colman Becks.
I have a family photo from 1875 with various of them on.

Hello Ms. Miller,

James Beck from Covesville gave me your phone number awhile back and told me to get in touch with you regarding the Beck genealogy.

I am descended from Micajah & Sarah's daughter, Lucy Beck, who married Hastin Hall. I am gathering information on all of the Beck's because I have several cousins who have descended from the various lines. Please let me know if you would be willing to share information. I am more than happy to share what I have found so far.

My email address is mander@virginia.edu

Thanks!
Amanda

My great great great great grandfather was Micajah Beck, Sr. I am descended from his daughter, Lucy, who married Hastin Hall. I was wondering if you had any luck finding Micajah's parents?

I would also like to get some info from you about your line. Right now, the only info I have on William Scott Beck is what I read in your post. I will be more than happy to give you what I have on Lucy or the info I have on William Scott Beck's brother, Andew Broadus Beck.

My email address is mander@virginia.edu

Thanks!

Dear Helen,
You must have been named for dear Helen McCullough of Maryland. I do miss her so when doing genealogy. Just happened to come across your note from 2003 so I am doubtful this will get to you. However, I too have been working on Micajah for years. I have always felt that he was brother to Jesse Beck and Williaim and Andrew who lived near by and all shared the same names with their children, but have not been able to get any concrete information. Let me know if you get this. Gayle Miller

John Becks

andrewbecks — 2006-07-21 12:04:16Z

looking for John Becks (or maybe beck as mention on the 1841 wales census) who married Catherine Simpson. They were both shown on the 1851 census as working as a quarryman at Porthgain Tip, Llanrian, Pembrokeshire. also shown is a possible named Catherine born abt 1850, but I have not found anything else about her, and she is not on any other census. Soon after 1851 they must have all moved to Kettering, probably because the railway was being built at the time, and John was shown as a rly contracter on his children's birth cert. As John was a contractor he was always away at the time of the other censuses and I have been unable to find any definate record of him since, over than he was allways mentioned as the father on the birth certificates of the children.
