I am grateful for the assistance given by Doug Beak- can you help him document his Beak ancestors?

My gt-grandmother, pioneer ancestor Elizabeth Beake (she mar: Richard Pelvin and came to New Zealand with her 5 children in 1863) She told family her two brothers immigrated to America. 

If you are a descendant George Beake or his elder brother James, please I would love to hear from you!
