Shelley states: My Great Uncle and I don't seem to be able to locate our relatives much when we are on the internet. I would like for you to add this to the Benner home page if you could. This way, maybe we could find more Benners that are related to us.

Note: The above information is some of the information that Shelley's Uncle Jack (John Benner) supplied. More current information (Shelley's siblings) has been eliminated to maintain privacy. If you want this information, please email Shelley.
