WELCOME !
 This site continues to be a work in progress, 
 thus the name Beets Me. 
 It represents an ongoing journey,
 not  a destination.
 Many expeditions through unknown territory involve
  bumps, delays, detours, and missed turns along the way.
 While traveling through ancestral history, 
 I have tried to track the correct path,
 by utilizing whatever information that could be found, 
 and by consulting many guides. 
 ( Thank you to all you "guides" who have contributed ! ) Therefore, the material herein is not all graven in granite, so if you find anything needing correction,
 or have any connection with the families here,
 or, just want to say hello,
 please drop me a line.
