Dad and I are working on the Beckner Family History and family tree. Over the next few days he will be calling some of you and mailing or emailing a form to you asking for information that we don't have. We would like to have the tree completed in time for this year's reunion. Please provide as much information about your "branch of the tree" as possible. The family tree and history will NOT be posted anywhere online. Our tree will not be complete without your help.
