I can't believe how much information you have found - you actually brought tears to my eyes tonight. Thank you again. You are awesome. The information that you have gathered is so much like uncovering a mystery. I just want to find out more and more.
When I first posted on this message board, I really didn't think anything would come of it...I'm so glad I was wrong.
I'm so glad I could help -you are very welcome. And I agree, genealogy becomes addictive as you start uncovering new information. I will keep working on Freda's maiden name, if you get any more specifics - let me know and I'll see if I can help.
Ищу родственников из немцев Поволжья. Первые немцы на Волге с моей фамилией упоминаются в 1767 году в колонии Диттель (Dietel)-Олешня. Затем были пересления в другие колонии, в основном Нагорной стороны Саратовской губернии. Последние поселения до 1941 года были в хуторах и сёлах Фроловского района Волгоградской области, откуда все были выселены в Казахстан.
My Grandfather is John S Bean 1918-2000 (moved to NM died there), his father is Russell D Bean 1895-1984(Wadestown WV), his father Henry Bean unsure of the dates(WV).
Do you have any history on them? I would be SOOOOOOO happy if you helped me with them.
I am not sure what information you already have so I'll just list everything I found for your Bean family.
Here are the Census records I located for your family. They are all taken in Battelle, Monongalia, West Virginia
1900 Census:
Head of household: Henry E Bean birth June 1867; born in West Virginia - Both his parents were born in West Virginia
Arwina Bean born June 1873 in West Virginia; both parents born in West Virginia
Russell D Bean age 4
Jessie L Bean age 2
Also Henry's brother, Robert L Bean age 31 is living with them
1910 Census
Henry with Arwina (mispelled as Armena)
Children: Russell 14, Jesse 12, Jasper 8 Cora 6 and Henry's brother Robert age 41
1920 Census
Russell is already gone. The remaining children are Jesse L age 22, Jasper age 17, Cora G age 16 and Snyde (son) age 10. Robert is still living with Henry, his age is 51.
I think Henry died post 1930.
I tried attaching Russell Dee Bean's military drafts for both WWI and WWII but they were to large for inclusion.
Okay...so with the information about Henry and Robert I was ready to find Henry Ellis Bean's parents in the 1870 census.
This is in Paw Paw, Marion, West Virginia
Head of household: Joseph Bean born about 1838 in Virginia
Wife Nancy Jane Bean born 1849 in Virginia
Henry Ellis Bean age 3
Robert L Bean age 1
There is also a male as D Bean age 21 on the record. Probably a brother to Joseph.
I hope this helps. If you want images of the actual draft cards with your grandfather's handwriting let me know and I'll get you my direct email since the site won't support the file.
Each time I start a search I keep getting a pop/up saying my version of Adobe Reader is out of date and I need to download Version 6 Update 12. I have Version 9!!!
I have followed all instructions, downloaded this version, re/booted, faced the computer North, tapped it, kicked it, spoke soothingly in its ear and I still get this pop/up blocking any further use of the software. I've tried the support section and have heard nothing!!
Were you ever able to sort this problem out, as i am desparate for an answer!
