Hello to all the family.My grandfather. William Riley Been, Grandmother Martha Gertrude Beene gave birth to my mom Elsie Marie Beene Springhill Ks.GOD Bless.

I am a descendant of Alexander and Christianna (Mac)Bean of Edgefield, SC, formerly of Aberdeenshire, Scotland. My grandmother was Reba Bean Partridge who was born and raised in Faulkville, Alabama. I was recently surprised and delighted to discover that there is a cemetery near Aberfoil, Alabama that contains the earthly remains of some of my Bean relatives who were of the same line. I'm planning a trip there asap.

My Daddy was Charlie Beene (just recently passed away on August 21 of 2021-age 85), son of Sherman, who was son of Tim, who was son of James M., who was son of James M., who was son of Russell Bean, who was son of Capt. William Bean. I have been trying to find out for years, how James M. came to live in Rhea County, then North Soddy in Hamilton. I have been a member of ancestry.com since 2008 (?) and been on various sites. Any insight for me? Thank you! -Deb Aschemeier

Good morning  My name is Sonya Bean Cooper. I live in Leighton, AL. My Father is the late Robert Bean, Sr.   I recently ran across some interesting information about a possible early descendent of the Bean family, William Bean, a man who is named in books that were written about the Bean Rifles made by William Bean in Tennessee.  William was a white man who soon became a plantation owner...interesting!  This is the link below: http://americanlongrifles.org/forum/index.php?topic=15464.0;wap2

Congratulations Nashville, TN  Beene\'s for doing such a fantastic job! We take our hats off to you!!! Our family reunion was a great gathering of generations of family members who came together to honor the past, celebrate the present, and look ahead to the future. It was the reconnecting of relatives for one common purpose. We embraced fun, food, fellowship and our faith. This loving and joyous occasion allowed us to renew relationships with each other whom we seldom see, begin relationships with those that we didn\'t know, and express love to those  that we may never see again. It was a great time to engage and encourage our youth, while appreciating our aging.  We honor the legacy of those ancestors who have sacrificed much for our benefit and to show humility for our many blessings on all we have achieved thus far.  But most of all, it is about thanking ALmighty GOD and our ancestors for the privilege of being here.  I am proud to be a part of this great family!!!!  See ya next year in Mississippi-2012.R.I.P. ALL BEENE family members who have gone on before us.......We Honor, Miss and Love You all!Respectfully submitted,Leticeia (Tisa) Parker Love--Reunion ChairGrandchild of the late Leander Beene, SR.Parents--Erskin and Dessie Beene Parker

Hello Family, I was looking forward to attending the Family Reunion in Houston. Unfortunately I will have to cancel my reservations. My son in-law was in an accident in Pensocola, Florida and my daughter had to flight there to be with him. I'm not sure when he will be able to travel to his home in Chicago. I am now responsible for my 10, 3 and 1 year old grandsons. Please keep my son-in-law in your prayers. Hope to see Beene/Bean Family next year at the reunion. Enjoy Houston Family..............

I think you guys have done a Wonderful job with your reunion and all the history is amazing. May God continue to bless each of you and much success to your 2017 Family Reunion.

Well, the Kansas City Beenes did it again.  I had a wonderful time.  Thanks for all of your prayers and hard work.  I felt so much love last week-end.  My family has truly been blessed with your presence.  Thanks for welcoming us into the fold.  Love ya!!Great, great grandaughter of Eliza Beene (Mantachie, MS)

Hi, family!I haven\'t been to the site in a while and it has changed since the last time I saw it. I still love it, even more.  I really enjoyed reading about cousin Christine Beene\'s 80th birthday celebration.  She and cousin Ollie have always added so much class to the family.  I haven\'t made it to many reunions but I look forward to seeing them at the ones I\'ve attended.  What a blessing to be married 62 years and to be surrounded by your children, grandkids, etc.So many of us didn\'t have our parents around by the time we reached maturity.  There are questions that have to go unanswered and hugs and kisses that will never be given because our loved ones are gone.  So to you young folks, while you still have your family members around you, don\'t take them for granted.  Appreciate them (warts and all).  Greet them with kisses.  Let them know they\'re special to you.  Ask them about their childhood.  I guarantee you, it will be interesting. Forgive them if you perceive they\'ve wronged you.  Remember God forgave you.  Maybe it\'s because I\'m an artist, but I\'ve  often wondered what my mother\'s favorite color was.  I never asked her but I\'d surely like to know.  I bet it was purple, like mine.

Hello EveryoneI\'m Ramona, grandaughter of Ola and Cooper Beene. I am the oldest of my family and my mother is the oldest daughter of Ola and Cooper. I live in Hemet, CA. I am looking forward to meeting family members that I didn\'t know I had until a few months ago. I just got the info for this site today and immediately went to it to check it out. This is a great gathering place for family members to learn of one another before the reunion. I will be attending along with my son, mother, brother and his family, 2 of my sisters and a friend of mine. We are very excited about meeting all of you.Take care and God Bless,Ramona

I am the daughter of Tommy Beene.  Hope I can make it to our next family reunion.

Looking forward to seeing all of the Beene family in Toledo, Ohio July 19- July 21, we are going to have a wonderful time.

Happy FAMILY REUNION!!!! -Baby Moon

The name above may not catch the eyes of those who may not know who I am but I am the son of Herman Beene/Haynesville Louisiana. I must first of all give thanks to God and second to those who have put so much effort in assuring this event take place. This will be a first for me and I look forward to meeting an abundance of family members that I may have seen in passing but never knew the family ties. Uncle Crosby, you have done well - consider this message a PAT on the back and my handshake. Well done!!!
