New Stuff:
Obit of Elsie Lodema Spencer Kolonich from the Lansing State Journal, 12 September 2001. Elsie was the oldest grandchild of Walter A. and Lodema Olive Beach Spencer (see photo below).
William Voss' American Silversmiths site might possibly include names of some of your ancestors, whether they were silversmiths or not. See my Beaches and Silversmiths site for silversmiths related to William Beach and his nephew Michael. Whether you have an ancestor listed or not, I'm sure you will be as impressed as I was with the amount of effort he put into his site.
Photos - Clark Beach, Mary Ann Madden Beach, Thomas C. Beach, Ohman Ford, father of Lodema Z. Ford Beach.
See my page about the Beach-Royce-Baldwin-Fenn-Ward connection - a complicated mess!
I'm working on a page covering the ancestors of Jemima Curtis - click here for the initial effort.

More New Stuff:
We Beach descendants have a common ancestor with a famous person - Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill. Thanks to Beach cousin Ray Richard, I have learned about the connection to Sir Winston through Nathan Beach. With confirmation from Eugene Beach Jr. who is the expert on the Beach line, and Don Raney's Gedcom file in RootsWeb's WorldConnect, I have the information straight.
