How to join...

When you join the Beatty Project, you are automatically added to the email discussion list. Here are the rules and how to join.

The Beatty Project Membership Requirements And Policies:

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 BeattyProject.org remains the property of the submitter.
3. Applicants must agree not to share or transmit BeattyProject.org information [other than their own] to non-members. Reasons for this include (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 the Beatty Project in order to receive the information/work of others.
4. Members are encouraged to contribute additional information/research time when possible. The U.S. Census Project is being 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 on-line we 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 charges no fees. Members off-line pay only mailing costs and printing costs of materials received. No other fees are currently charged or anticipated for members.

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 file formatted for Family Tree Maker. If this is not 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. Email (1) and (2) to: Mike Allen at naturalsoft@ameritech.net.
