MARK YOUR CALENDARS! The Beem Family Reunion will be held August 16, 2008 at noon outside Columbus, Ohio at the Jersey Universalist Church (Pataskala, Ohio) started by Michael Beem. Anyone descended from Michael and Elizabeth (Green) Beem is encouraged to attend. It might be of interest that the old homestead of Michael Beem (Jersey Township, Licking County, Ohio) built in the 1840s is still standing and in wonderful condition. It stands about a mile from the church.The first Beem Reunion was held in 1899 at the church. Come and see where your ancestors established themselves and meet your long, lost cousins. A dish to pass is requested. For more information contact Barb Shaw at oldjocko@juno.com.
