A Special Thanks to Judy Benham and Charles Benham

We would like to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude, and give a special thanks to Judith ‘Judy’ (Benham) Weinstein for her decades of meticulous genealogical research and for generously sharing her work.

Judy's uncle Chuck (Charles Benham) was an enthusiastic partner in researching our family's history and our ancestors.

Chuck traveled to places our ancestors lived, and he was a wiz at putting genealogical 2's and 2's together. He uncovered the key that opened the door to our Dutch relatives.

This site exists because of their diligent work and dedication to preserving the Benham family history.

Thank you, Judy & Chuck!
