We have had some major breakthroughs with the English Beckett tree.  We have been particularly lucky to learn that there were two existing Beckett Big Y DNA testers who were part of a different project.  Their earliest common ancestor is estimated by Family Tree DNA to have been born around 1050, effectively confirming the Norman origin theory for the English Beckett surname.  For the details, see the status report at Origin of the English Beckett Surname Version of 2024 12 16.
