It is with much sadness that we have learned of the recent death of our friend and TRP colleague Beverly Watson.1
On 1st April 2010 Beverly wrote an email to the Reeves list at Rootsweb (now defunct but a copy of the email is available at the TRP News Page for April 2010). In it she wondered about how we might better collaborate in our Reeves research and within a few days The Reeves Project wiki was born. Beverly was one of the first members of our community and over the past fifteen years has been a significant contributor not only of genealogical content but also as one of our admins. She led Mentor Team A from its inception and was also the lead of DNA Group 6 and its sub-groups.
Beverly was also one of the Co-Admins at the Reeves DNA Project hosted at Family Tree DNA. There she took a lead role in handling the enrollment of new members and in grouping new Y-DNA matches over the past decade. She also shared detailed research into her own and other Reeves families in a blog she collaborated on called "Reeves, Reaves and more Rives."
She will be greatly missed by the TRP community. RIP Beverly
