I POSTED A FEW YEARS AGO REGARDING CHARLES BEATS. HE WAS BORN IN DUNDEE, SCOTLAND IN 1872. HE WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER. HE MARRIED A CATHERINE MCLAUGHLAN AROUND 1890 AND HAD 3 CHILDREN. THE FAMILY WERE GOING TO EMIGRATE TO THE UNITED STATES AND CHARLES WENT AHEAD TO BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTES BETWEEN 1900 AND 1920. FROM WHAT I CAN GATHER CHARLES SENT BACK A FEW LETTERS THEN WAS NEVER HEARD FROM AGAIN. THE FAMILY BACK IN SCOTLAND WERE NOT SURE WETHER HE HAD DIED OR MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY OR TOWN. I WAS IN AUSTRALIA RECENTLY VISITING A BEATS COUSIN AND WHILE THERE WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE FROM THE U.S HAD PHONED AND ASKED IF MY COUSIN MIGHT BE A RELATION. MY COUSIN NOT KNOWING THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY WAS UNABLE TO HELP THE PERSON WHO PHONED. SO AM NOW LOOKING FOR A BEATS RELATION IN THE U.S. WOULD BE GRATEFUL IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYONE CALLED BEATS IN THE U.S OR KNOWS HOW TO FIND OUT ABOUT FINDING THE NAME BEATS.
