cleaned GEDCOM file (180K)GENDEX database dwmerrill9
contains the ancestors and descendants of Walter Howard Beckett (1880-1966). He was
the father of Laura Geneva Beckett, the adoptive mother of my wife Anna Christine Morben. dwmerrill9
includes many Becketts and Lanhams in Prince George's county, Maryland. The
family of Laura's mother Sarah Sewell Hall Beckett (1880-1952) are in GENDEX database hall.
Note: Database dwmerrill9 is a current version
of database dwmerrill15, which
was last updated on 9/8/97. Both databases should be consulted. Not all
information appears in either one. Where discrepancies are noted, the data in dwmerrill9 should be used.
This database contains many persons whose relationships to other persons are unknown.
Many of the birthdates are merely estimates, as indicated in the source notes.
The file dennie:\\d:\ftw\dwmerrill9\beckett.ged of 4/11/99 (367 names) was
exported by Family TreeMaker 4.4 in FTM
GEDCOM 5.5 format. With the use of GEDCLEAN,
information was censored for living persons, except for name, gender, and
relationship. A person was assumed dead if born before 1899.
GED2HTML
v3.0b cannot properly handle the GEDCOM output of FTW version 4. To avoid this
problem, the GEDCOM file was pre-processed with scripts fixftm40.csh and fixftm40.ed.
Then, in crocker.com, a Linux 2.0.0 (Posix) system, the GEDCOM file was converted to HTML
with GED2HTML 3.0b (Linux ELF version of 5/28/97). Custom files options3.g2h and custom3.g2h were used to
include the birth and death dates of parents, spouses, and children.
Database dwmerrill9 was submitted to Gene Stark's GENDEX and to Chris Perry's GENMATCH.
