Steve---I am in the process of researching a variety of my family genealogical ties on both sides of my family, and I just read yourrecent comments about your Beilstein connection back to Hesse Darmstadt in Germany.
My mother's mother was born in Chicora, Pennsylvania, (Butler County, NE of Pittsburgh) in 1883 of German parents who had both emmigrated from Germany to the U. S. as children in the 1840s.My great grandmother was Margaret Beilstein from Hesse Darmstadt, and a large number of Beilsteins of that immediate family are located in the Bulter County area to this day.
My guess is that you and I have a distant family link up from the Beilstein side in Hesse Darmstadt.Having lived in Europe for nearly 20 years, and having worked for a U. S. company in Darmstadt, I know the small town from which my great grandmother originally came.Unfortunately I never seemed to have the time to spend on direct research there.
I have been spending a great deal of time over the past month in the Fairfax County Library in Fairfax City, Virginia, (Northern Virginia) in which an excellent genealogical section with very qualified staff is to be found.If you want to share information on your Beilstein connections, I would be happy to collaborate.It seems that you have done some good research already, especially if you can trace your family back to the 1500s.
I am also very fluent in German and can read original source material, should that be of use to you, and I know the German mentality, culture, and legal system of old and new backwards and forwards.
If I come across information on the persons you are researching, I will let you know through GenForum.
Best regards.Jerrie Lynskey
