Genealogy
Add to the family file
I've been talking to some people in the
family about genealogy. In 1996, I created a
Family Tree
Maker file of the Beall side of the family using only paper resources;
remember that in 1996, you couldn't just jump on the web and download a bunch of
data. You can view this file as an outline
descendent tree in PDF, or download the
FTW file. [15-Nov-05, photo added: Mr & Mrs Emory

On the Bonnycastle side I have a file created
in the same time period, but I'm less sure about the data sources. I'm pretty
sure that the very old data was put together by my mother, but I' not sure about
any of the more recent data. Again, you have the option of the PDF
outline descendant file or the
FTW file [updated 6-Jan-10]. I have page after page of
data from the Bonnycastle forum on Yahoo, but it's not in a format that I can
import, and the thought of all that cutting and pasting...
We have a little bit of a start on the
Russell side with an all-in-one PDF file
for Jeanne or the original FTW file. We
found lots of material on our trip east and will try to add it as time
allows.
The thing that prompted me to look at this at
all was Barbara Murray [Bonnycastle Eads] asking about pictures of her great
grandparents. I happen to have a couple of great original photos of Henry
Churchill Bonnycastle and Marie Kennedy Bonnycastle on the wall and I've had
these removed from their frames and did a high-resolution digitalization.
If anyone wants copies, just let me know.
Jordan Stadig sent a photo of Marie Bonnycastle and the three girls. It won't be
as high a resolution as the other pictures, but it's still great. [683K]
