*** We're Moving To A New And Larger Site! ***
We are pleased to announce the establishment of our new website at:
Please take a moment to visit us at our new home by clicking the link above. While the "look and feel" of the new site has not changed, we have added several features such as an interactive version of our Gedcom files, with over 10,000 descendants of Richard, John and Thomas Beach of New Haven. We also now have space to post additional sample articles, such as an extensive account of Timothy Beach5 published by his grandson, Josiah Priest, in the 1830's. Since it will take time for our new site to find its way into search engines, we will maintain this home page on AOL's server until at least January 1, 2006. After that, the AOL site will automatically redirect visitors to the new location. Meanwhile, please update all links or bookmarks to the new location above.
Who We Are...
The Beach Family Journal is a quarterly genealogical newsletter devoted to all persons named Beach or Beech in the U.S. and Canada. It was begun in 1993 by your editor, Eugene H. Beach, Jr., in an effort to continue the work of Alfred H. and Cora M. Beach, publishers of the original Beach Family Magazine (1926-1932), by providing a forum for the presentation and preservation of information about the family and its history.
What We Do...
Each issue of the Beach Family Journal presents a mix of Beach-related information contributed by your editor, subscribers and correspondents. This includes reprints of accounts found in old local histories, biographies, lineages, in-depth articles, shorter notes, obituaries, census data, vital statistics and queries. While the focus is on tracing the descendants of Richard Beach1, John Beach1, and Thomas Beach1 of early New Haven, Connecticut (the so-called "New England Beach Family"), the Beach Family Journal also regularly includes items related to other Beach families in the colonial South, more recent immigrant families from the British Isles, and even Beach families with Germanic roots. Those with Adobe® Acrobat® Reader can view the complete text of several early issues on our PDF Files page, while other articles and notes of interest are posted on our Sample Items page. Also check our Files To Download page where you will find zipped (compressed) Gedcom files with descendants of the three New Haven brothers and other Beach-Beech families.
Your Editor...
Your editor, Eugene H. Beach, Jr.10 is a descendant of Thomas Beach1 of early New Haven and Milford, Connecticut [i.e., Eugene10, Eugene9, Ulysses8, Davis7, Michael6, Michael5, Linus4, John3, John2, Thomas1]. He has long been interested in Beach family history; having traced his own lineage as a teenager. Over the past thirty (30) years he has collected original editions and/or reprints of several previously published Beach genealogies and has maintained a regular correspondence with other Beach family researchers by mail, email and postings to on-line bulletin boards and mailing lists.
