This is the Progress Report for the Beismer Name Study. It will track the activities of the Study.

• 21 May 2021 - The Study began.
• WikiTree searched for variants of the surname and profiles edited with a sticker for the Study and profile managers contacted and informed.
• WikiTree users group on Facebook informed of the Study.
• Facebook relatives of Study Coordinator informed of the Study.
• G2G announcements made about the Study.
• Cleanup underway on profiles already on WikiTree. See Instruction Page.
• Profiles added to WikiTree and to the Study as cleanup finds relationships.

• 11 June 2021 - Cleanup of profiles already on WikiTree continues.
• Data collection has begun because individuals with variants of the surname often show up in searches for information about individuals who already have WikiTree profiles.

• 20 August 2023 - A blog and web site has been created for the Study.
• The Study coordinator joined the Guild of One Name Studies and the Study is registered there.
• Announcements about the Study are made from time to time.
• Most profiles with the name variants have had the Study sticker added to them; there remain a few variants with profiles already on WikiTree that have not had stickers added yet.
• A genealogical database and spreadsheet have been created and statistics have been compiled.

• Next Steps - review and improve all profiles currently included in the Study.
• Begin searches online for each of the variant spellings, in various genealogical web sites, to add more individuals to the Study.
• continue to announce the Study on various social media sites.

• April 4, 2024 - the majority of reporting on the Study will be at the Beismer One-Name Study Blog. Only basic information will be added here, from this point forward.
• July 26, 2024 - There are currently 305 profiles in the Study. We are in need of others to help with the work. We are in need of German and Dutch participants as this coordinator does not read either language.
