"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 with family and friends. My Aunt Joan always answered the phone with the salutation, "Banner's Beanery!" So come in and stay awhile.

The Fabius Historical Society

   On Monday, Aug 4th at 7PM, the Fabius Historical Society will meet at the Fabius Community Center (7786 Main St., Rt.80). Helen DeHaan will provide first-hand knowledge concerning the Cortland King's Daughters Children's Home. Former Fabius residents, Clarence and Hazel Banner, ran the home for many years. Free and open to the public. Refreshments will follow the program.
   Helen visited the Tully Area Historical Society about year ago looking for some information and I had the great joy of meeting with her. She had recently had a reunion of many of the home's residents and had accumulated a treasure trove of pictures, memories and information from them about their life there. Included were remembrances of Clarence and Hazel. I was overwhelmed by all the work she had done. You won't be disappointed.

Betty's 2013 "In a Nutshell" is Here

   Betty just finished her year in review newsletter for 2013 & early 2014. She gives an annual review of what has happened in the Frank & Betty Banner family over the course of the previous year. It's a great read and includes several new pictures of the family. Login to see all her previous newsletters and the most recent one HERE.

 

Jan 22, 2014:

   It's been a long time since I've edited the front page of the Banner Family website and I apologize for that. 2013 has been a year of both loss and gain for us as you can see in the "Latest News" column.
   I have not worked on the Banner genealogy since last spring as I've been doing research for a couple of unrelated people. Sometimes you have more luck if you leave "the family" alone for awhile. The hope being that when you return back to them that it will be with new enthusiasm.
   In the spring of 2013, I took a trip to the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. It's the largest family history library in the world (compliments of the Church of Latter-day Saints). I was well-prepared and had created research sheets and a list of my most troublesome brick walls. I was able to successfully break thru 2 out of the 10 walls I had and I thought that was pretty good. Both of them were on the Russell side of the family. There is nothing better than that "eureka moment" when you've been stumped for so long.
   Drop me a line with news you might have. Everything counts.
