Merz and Bean Family Ancestors

The Merz and Bean Ancestors

My husband, Robert Bean, Elizabeth, and myself, Teresa Merz Bean
The goal of this website is to find cousins and coordinate our family genealogy research. In time I hope to have all of my and my husband's family lines recorded here. Please have patience with me in this endeavor. I have a preschooler at home who no longer takes naps. I will add information as I find the time.
