Thank you.  I visited that site some months ago and thought there may be some family connections there.

I've been away from this site for quite some time because of many family demands.  The patriarch or our Beard family passed away on March 31st, the last of his siblings.

I hope to get back into researching very soon and will see whether any of the suggestions given by Bilge and Red1975 pan out.  I will certainly post any results here.

I have information on the Suters that I will pass on to Alf in a direct email once I have it organized.

Thanks, Alf.  You have done an amazing amount of research.

It appears that the John Thomas Beard/Florence Suter line is indeed my husband's line through his father, who is their last remaining child.  I have followed your research through the Beards and it has been most helpful.  We always thought the family was from Wales, but apparently that is not the case.

The Suters have been a mystery to us, but hopefully we will eventually learn more.

I have information of their offspring - nine in all - if you're interested.

Hello, Arranroots

I've been researching mostly the Beard pedigree, but seem to be stuck on this one line.  It seems to be a dead end, but I know that's not possible.  I was hoping that someone out there may have a related line in their pedigree and that we could compare notes.

The reason for posting on both Wales and England is because there seems to be an overlap.  It was always believed that the Beards were from Wales.  I has become apparent that that is only in very recent times.

Thanks for your suggestions.

I am researching the Suter family, specifically Florence Suter who married John Thomas Beard in 1907 in Neath Wales.  Florence's mother was Jane and she may or may not have been married to a Frederick Charles White.  Florence had two brothers who owned a furniture store in Wales.

Any information welcomed.
