Welcome to the Family Tree of Alice Beard

This database is the result of over 30 years of my research. Iam now an attorney; in the past, I spent two years asa librarian at a local LDS Family History Center. Fordirect-line ancestors, and for all descendants of any of mygreat-great grandparents, all information has been proven by me.However, like most genealogists, some of the information in thisdatabase is not the result of my own research of primary records,but rather the result of someone else claiming that the informationis correct. Nota bene: If you contact me asking for moreinformation, do TWO things: (1) Give exact names, dates, andlocatations, remembering that women are always named by theirmaiden names. (2) Say "please" and "thank you," and comprehend thatthis database is the result of thousands of hours of my work andthat saying "please" and "thank you" is appropriate.
