Hello All,

this file contains information on the Joseph Beach Family of Grant County, Kentucky. For now it only has information on the Beach Family but I will be adding what I know on some of the other families later. Mainly those with connections to the family. If you would like to add any additional information on your family/families you may send the information to me and I will get it added with you listed as the source.

The only Beach family members I knew prior to starting work on the family were my grandmother and her sisters, Rosella and Frances Beach. So much for thinking I came from a small family. Boy was I wrong!

My great aunt Rosella Beach Atkins gave me the William Harrison Beach family bible and told me where she thought the family was buried. I went looking and kept finding all of these other Beach names and began to wonder who they were. Then I found a book that had been written on the family, "The Beach Family of Kentucky", written by T.J. Beach. He has asked if I am going to do an update on the famiy and has given me permission to use his original data.

The following information contains additions, corrections, and probably some errors. I am having a major problem with the James Beach lines. Although I have tried to make this as accurate as possible we all make mistakes. I had to merge two files together to get the census informaton included in this. I have gone through the file several time trying to make sure there is not any duplicate information. If you see a mistake let me know. Remember this is a work in progress and my first attempt at a web site.

A special thanks to all of the volunteers at Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness. Without the assistance of these volunteers I would not have quite as many of the obituaries. Stay tuned as I will be adding more as I obtain them.

Also to Wendy Plunkett, Shelly Beach Lunsford, Linda Hensley, Chris Machnik, James Cammack, Donna, Jane Pettit, Mac & Jane McClure, Jodie Huff, Lisa, Dorman Holub, Beulah Wiley Franks and many others. You all should find your names in the notes section for the branch of the family you contributed information for. If it is not there let me know so I can get you added back in. I have had the pleasure to meet most of the above individuals while doing reseach on the family and am glad to be able to call all of the above either friend or cousin.
