Welcome!
This site was inspired by the book The Daniel Bender Family History, edited by Lucy Beachy, and published in 1985. I received it as a gift when I was a child, and spent countless hours and days wondering about the lives of all these people in my family.
If you have material that is relevant to my research, or are interested in collaboration, please reach out to me. I would love to work together to build something bigger than we can accomplish alone.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your visit!
