Dear Alan, Welcome. Happy to assist you with your BEAN research at this site.

Please supply details on those who have passed on, for instance your grandparents full names. And also what are all the surnames that have married into your tree.

Do not know much about my family I am new to this my father was William Arthur Bean,Jr born in Herrin,IL on 6/13/47 his mothers name was Pauline. He has 2 sisters Susie Rosenow and Cinda Hedrick,one brother Paul Bean. I know very few of my cousins names, I have 2 brothers William Bryan Bean and James Edward Bean, my sister was adopted by my father Annette Marie James. We now live in Calhoun County,AL my father retired here. Do not know if this will help you if it does will you please let me know. I am trying to find out all of this so that I can pass it on to my child. Thank you

My maiden name was BEAN, I have been researching this family for over 20 years and have gone back to 1600's however there seems to be a great number of BEANs ,that have the christian names Edward, john, Valentine, William , this seems to follow on through generations and makes it difficult when researching , If you are interested , I would like to see what you have and see if I can place you in my tree & help you further your research .My Father came from kent UK when he was about 5, there are so many branches of this BEAN family I just keep finding more but without certificates it is hard to place them in the correct family and I just cannot afford those certificates, so I rely upon helpful researchers who are willing to help & I likewise . I see where your Father came from USA , some of my tree went to USA / Canada , it is a long shot but who knows what we may come up with , Delma in Australia ( my home email: delaren@bigpond.com)

Thank you for your reply and interest , am very grateful , will do a look up asap, I have been quite ill and have not done much of late so this may give me the incentive to get back to it, Thank you again, delma
