The New Beatty Project
 
 

Whats New

Watch these pages as we gradually fill the Beatty Project site with facts and notes gathered in our genealogical travels.

Our goal here, is to keep a reference book of primary sources that document the names, dates, and places of the many Beatty lineages from around the world, not a small undertaking. This includes census indexes and complete census data, marriage listings, state by state, cemetery listings, military archives, and more.

In addition, you'll find useful information that is not as well documented. For example, short biographies, and family histories and anecdotes about our Beatty ancestors, and photographs of Beattys and Beatty places from around the world.

This project is the work of many - the members of The Beatty Project. All are welcome to contribute their sources, data, photos, stores, and ideas to make our Beatty site fat and useful.

Our latest ongoing project is to migrate our data from our old site that was supported by Ancestry.com. We started this new Beatty Project site when Ancestry.com decided to stop supporting free email lists and websites. Here's our progress:

  • Completed populating the Biograhies page and remove bad links (8/28/2023)
  • Added (12/12/2021) search box to find your lineage # via your email address. Results link to the lineage summary
  • Added (8/1/2021) Zoom Presentation by Bob Beatty from July 15, 2021 - Here:
  • The lineage summaries, 611 of them, are all moved to the new site. We even added a couple new ones.
  • The military archives are all in place.
  • The census archive is complete.
  • Crosslé's genealogical abstracts are in place. (320 records)
  • The Irish Deed Index is complete. (223 records)
  • The vital records pages are moved as-is from the old site
  • The cemetery archives are started, Jack D. Beaty, Sr. and I are working on it. (1061 cemeteries).
  • The Biographies and References pages are partially done. We need to check each link to find out-of-date links.
  • And Currently Pete Beatty and other volunteers have been working dilegently to rescue the many thousands of messages in our Beatty email list from Ancestry.com. Once they have re-formatted the data so that messages are separated and more readable, I then transform them so they can be imported in to our site database -- making them searchable. Currently messages from 2003, 2009, and 2010 are visible on the site (2109 records so far). Search here: .
