Dear Carol, My maternal grandfather was Harold Wayne Beckman, brother to Rachel, Leona,
and the others. Grandpa married Evelene Hallam; Their youngest daughter, Charlotte
Jeanetta, was my mother. My sister Kathy and I have been doing family history research for
a number of years; Kat has focused more on the Beckman side. Did you know that our
"bloodline" surname is actually DUFORT? Apparently, my grandpa's grandfather
came with his parents, the Duforts, to America from somewhere in Germany; on the way over,
his father died and his mother married a man named Beckman. This Mr. Beckman adopted
Thomas, who was only five years old. My sister and I would love to find our connection to
our Dufort line, if anyone could help us out. Carol, my sister may be better able to give
you more info (at least at the moment; my research is currently packed away due to a
recent move!); her email is jshourd(a)yahoo.com Hope this helps a little, anyway!
Karen
