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
