Where Do We Go From Here?

Are we done; now that the origins of my particular branch of the Beismer family has been found?  Nah.

Certainly, it was one of the aims of the Study, to find the origins of my grandfather's family.  But there are other questions.

What is the relationship between the different branches of the family?

Are all the different spellings related or not?

Since one of the things learned about the variant spellings is that the Beismer spelling is very recent, how are the Beismers in different geographic areas related, if they are?

There are also statistics; some are interesting.  Someone at WikiTree has recently developed an app, there, that collects the data from profiles, with a particular surname, organizes it and produces a report with a lot of information about the profiles with that surname:  ages, gender, geographic locations and more.  

Plus, just looking at the original numbers collected from a few online searches, there are enough people with one or another of the variant spellings of the name to make it interesting to know something about them; and, most of them do not have profiles on WikiTree.  And, more spellings were added to the Study.

So, we/I continue.  I will be working toward a statistical report.  

Onward....
