"It's a poor family that has neither whore nor thief in it..."

 

Welcome
Welcome to Banner's Beanery! What's a beanery? Its a cheap restaurant by definition but to me it became that place where you could sit, relax and stay awhile. My Aunt Joan always answered the phone with the salutation, "Banner's Beanery!". So come in and stay awhile.

New gedcom upload with these additions:

  • 244 new individuals
  • 90 new families
  • 14 new obituaries
  • 8 veterans
  • Betty Banner's 2011 Year in Review

Along with the above there have been many exciting developments to report:

  • several new cousins who've generously contributed their own family genealogies including photos and other scanned images
  • I'm anxiously awaiting the 1940 Fed Census release on Apr 2, 2012
  • I've been working closely with Cathy Haar in tracking the Keenan lines. We've made much progress. Patrick Keenan was an ancestor of Grace Russell Banner.
  • The addition of an Awards Page because, yes, we have won a couple of awards!
  • New "Guest" login available. Now you can see dead people. The privacy of the living still restricted to registered users who qualify (ie. related).
  • I still have much to do and add - stay tuned.

October 10, 2011:

    I've copied these memorial guestbooks to the website so that they won't be lost:

    Recently, I had been notified that Ed's was going to expire 10/14/2011.
