B E A T T Y F A M I L Y R E S E A R C H
The Beatty Project 2000 is devoted to enhancing the knowledge about the
Beatty family in all locations and at any time. We use the spelling BEATTY
when referring to the family in general since the U.S.Census Bureau states
that it is the most frequent spelling in the U.S. But our research includes
all spelling variations. The list is too numerous to delineate here but if your
surname has a B followed by a vowel followed by a T or D sound followed by a
vowel sound you at the right place! You may even add an S sound to any of the
above combinations. If you precede all of that with a Mac or Van or Von...you
are still at the right place!
The Beatty Project 2000 is a private association of about 220
Beatty descendant/researchers organized to promote research on the
Beatty family history. Members include individuals who are online and
some who are not.
As a private organization we have membership requirements which
are described below. This organization was created in 1996 by Ray
Beaty and is currently managed by Ray
The Project's great success and growth, however, is due to some
very active members who are constantly contributing to the
following activities with their time and financial resources.
The Beatty Project 2000 currently sponsors these activities: 1. Maintenance
of the BEATTY LINEAGES ARCHIVE - now 260 "unconnected" Beatty lineages.
Research is in progress on many of these lineages to further document
each individual. 2. BEATTY U.S. CENSUS PROJECT - extracting of all Beatty
information from the U.S. Census project. 3. BEATTY MARRIAGES ARCHIVE --
documentation of Beatty marriages. 4. Material is also being collected
on the general history of the family as well as research information
on the value of specific resources for Beatty research. Volunteers are
needed for all of these activities. Any contributions will be fully
credited in our records.
MEMBERSHIP REQUIREMENTS AND POLICIES FOR THE BEATTY PROJECT 2000:
1. Individuals must submit their Beatty lineage. This requirement has
greatly increased our Beatty database which increases the probability
of making connections for members. We have this "give-to-get"
requirement simply because some would never take the time to submit
their information in the process of having queries answered.
2. All information submitted to 2000 remains the property of the
submitter.
3. Applicants must agree not to share/transmit 2000 information to
non-members. REASONS: a. the information is the property of
others, b. we have agreements with some sources to share their
information ONLY within our organization, and c. basic philosophy
that each of us should contribute to 2000 in order to receive the
information/work of others. (Your immediate family, of course, is
excluded from this restriction).
4. Members are encouraged to contribute additional information/research
time when possible. The U.S. Census Project is possible only
because some members are devoting many hours to reviewing microfilms,
recording information, organizing it, etc.
5. Applicants must submit their legal name, address, and telephone
number. With our growing membership of individuals not online we will
be mailing some documents in the future. Address and telephone
numbers are held confidential. Members receive only other members'
names and email addresses.
6. The Beatty Project 2000 charges no fees. Members offline pay only
mailing costs and printing costs of materials received. No other
fees are currently charged or anticipated for members. Donations
so far have financed expenses.
PROCEDURES FOR MEMBERSHIP PROCESSING
1. Send your statement that you agree to abide by the above polices.
2. Send your Beatty lineage information. Preferably a GEDCOM formatted
for IBM and Family Tree Maker should be created. If it is a small file
(under 1.5Megabytes) you can send the actual FTM file as an attachment
to an email message. Also a .fbc version of it is fine. If neither
of these options is viable...then you can send the information in a
MSWord file attached to your email message. If that doesn't work
then you can type the information into an email message.
3. You should mail l and 2 to: Ray Beaty If there is a
problem contacting Ray, write Joe Patterson or Bill
Baty,Sr. .
