I view this site as a triumph.  The Beene family has arrived when we can finally go "high-tech."  This is our version of "Roots, Part III"  I thoroughly enjoy this site and thank you, cousin Crosby for your industry and graciousness .  We haven't met but I've talked to you on the phone a few times and feel like I already know you.  See you in Ann Arbor this summer.Brenda (Williams) TuckerDaughter of the late Lorene Beene Williams

Crosby ,this is an incredible, information-filled site.  Your expertise represents the "BeanStalk" well.  I have longed to attend this reunion.  My dad, the late Bishop Darvis Beene and my grandfather the late James Corbin Beene "Buster" (Mantachie) instilled in me the love of family.  I chaired the Annual Beene, Crayton, Cummings, Turner, Warren Reunion in 2000. Unfortunately, I did not know you, but look forward to meeting you and sharing family history.    

Thanks for the website and all your hardwork.  This will be the first reunion for my husband and son so I look forward to introducing them and meeting the rest of the Beenes/Beans! Don't forget to contact Dina Bankston to sign up for the family newsletter.Daughter of Phyllis BeeneGranddaughter of Robert Lee Beene

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.
