Project Goals
To identify every Begeman individual to a branch. And hopefully
connect them all together through our ancestors. By first
gathering a list of all our ancestors, and then contacting
European Begeman's in hopes of discovering links to their
families, and records dating farther back. I would also like to
introduce European Begeman's to their U.S. relitavies. My project
is not a money making scheme (I am disappointed with the entities
who have monetized genealogical data and are profiting from others
work and wish to circumvent that), the info I have gathered (you
have shared) is here for all to see and enjoy. My motivation is to
find my own ancestors, and help others do the same. These pages
contain the information that has been provided by participants who
wish to share in the search for our ancestors. I have identified
18 different branches (to date). Enjoy!
Note
This project is viewer supported. And is a tribute
to those who have shared data on their branch. That means for this
project to continue to grow and for everyone to receive more
benefit from it, any info you could provide me with any data on
your branch that is relevant that can be shared.
It is best if your Data includes full names, birth date, and
place. (marriage, death, etc.)
Data on living B's need contain only full name, and state of
residence, I do not wish to interfere with anyone's privacy.
EMail me at data_1@begeman.org please ensure the subject line
contains "Begeman"(n) so it doesn't get filtered as spam.

Lack of updates - As you can tell I have invested a lot of time
and energy in this site. In '05 I lost interest in maintaining it
when it seemed there was not much outside interest AND because of
the pain it caused me when I came to the realization that the
Begemann's should have been included in my info gathering from the
beginning. Excluding them was a huge mistake and I regret all the
missed opportunities and great info that I overlooked or dismissed
prior to that realization. I am done kicking myself about this and
look forward to embracing the Begemann's as we are all family. What
do double letters in a surname mean?
I have found new tools to help me with web authoring, and with
renewed vigor, look to stimulate new activity and interest in this
project. I welcome any input on how I can make this site better
serve the family and especially bring in the double N's. It would
be a near impossible task to go back and start over on the double
N's. There is no way I can retrace all my steps through the years
that brought forth the information I have gathered. I hope that
your interest and any information you can share can be added to
make this site more interesting to all the families.
