The Hard Drive Has Been Laid To Rest.

Well, it looks like my hard drive will never be revived. I have tried everything.
I am going to have to rely on anyone out there who may have photos of Benge family members from long ago; unless I can get together with my Great Aunt and scan some of hers.


Remember, all comments are welcome and encouraged. If you have info that needs to be posted, please email me at: romans833@yahoo.com.


Thanks again,
Aaron Benge

Still looking for photos...

So far, we're not getting any responses  - we need feedback! 

We recently have suffered a death in the family (my wife's mother), so I haven't been able to add much; I will try to be more diligent in the future, when things get fully back to normal.

On the bright side, we have however had quite a few people from outside of Indiana checking out the site.

Here's a list:

Daniels, West Virginia

Winchester, Kentucky

Batesville, Arkansas

Cincinnati, Ohio

Mason, Ohio

Mountain View, California

...and then a few from  these Indiana cities:

Crawfordsville, Indiana    

Indianapolis, Indiana   

Waynetown, Indiana  

Mace, Indiana  

Thanks for stopping by, and send some pictures if you have them - I'll see to it that they are posted. My hard drive crashed a couple weeks ago, and I lost about 5,000 pictures; including three Benge family reunions and 5 years of family photos. 

...I'll see if I can get my scanner to work.

Hello! Welcome to BengeFamily.com.

Why is there a BengeFamily.com?

At this year's family reunion, I spoke with my Great Aunt, Mary McCullough, about starting a website for the Benge family. The idea behind it was to get the family history and genealogy information online, and possibly provide an outlet where people can post their old (and new) family photos and stories. She told me to give it a whirl, so here goes...

Are you having a baby, or expecting one? This would be a great place to post it. Is there a favorite story about a Grandparent? An interesting fact relating to the history of the Benge name, or possibly a tale of an ancestor who immigrated from a foreign land? Just go to the "post a comment" section after each post and tell your story.

If there are photos that you would like to have posted, send them to romans833@yahoo.com along with names, dates and any other information, and I will see to it that they get posted.

Oh yeah, who am I? My name is Aaron Benge, son of Cecil (Buddy) and Leslie Benge. My Grandparents were Henry and Hazel Benge. I won't bother going any further, because I'll embarrass myself - yet another good reason for a BengeFamily website. I also host a few other sites, including:

www.mangdiddles.com  (www.AaronBenge.com)
www.TheCarpentersShop.info (www.CheckOutTheCarpentersShop.com)
www.theWordisGrace.com

www.TheWordIsGrace.mypodcast.com (study on the book of John); and this one, www.BengeFamily.com (www.BengeFamilyReunion.blogspot.com)

I hope you all join in. Hopefully, in the future, we will be giving updates on the family reunion's budget, and possible ideas for future get-togethers. Let me know what you think; and tell your aunts, uncles. grandparents and cousins. If this turns out to be something that people want, I will add an actual forum sometime. Let me know,Aaron
