Hello, I don't know if this is relevant but I figured I'd take a chance. In 2008 I posted an old brief document my late mom had made on the Beck-England genealogy (I don't know how complete or in what context it was written) online at geocities.com/okiecrab and over the years it got referenced on sites like ancestry.com and such until geocities died.

I was trying to get the link back into circulation for people looking to complete their family genealogies but most of the main sites that referenced the original all require a paid subscription which I both can't afford and wouldn't do anything with, so I wondered if you knew how or who to inform of this in a free way to help people update the outdated link. Thanks for your time. =) -JP
