The purpose of this site is so all family members can have access to their family history and family photos. Email Debbie at or Beverly to send photos or information. We will gladly scan your pictures and promptly return them in good condition if you don't have easy access to a scanner. We are also looking for biographies, anecdotes, birth/death information, social security/naturalization records, maiden names, middle names, and descendant information. Most information is very incomplete and subject to correction.

This is a picture of the Steward bungalow that the family moved to in 1920. This photo was taken in June, 2000, and Vic's wife Pat still lives there. Unfortunately, the property is nothing like it used to be. The big house, once lived in by Yosh, was sold, and is no longer in the family. Some of the other acreage was sold off as well. All that remains is a small residential lot. You can click on the photo to see a larger version.

With Vic's death on 6/13/03, all of Benny and Sally's children have now passed on.

There are eleven grandchildren, and nine are probably still living (Jean's son Danny is unaccounted for). Those still living are Sally and Carolyn (Alec), Bev (Joe), Walt (Walt), Danny (Jean), Chris & Carole (Josh), Debbie (Ed), and an unknown daughter placed for adoption (Steffie).

Both of Steffie's children are deceased. Carol died of cancer and Richard was murdered. Steffie also had a daughter that was put up for adoption (discovered in 2000). At this point, her name is unknown, but she lives somewhere in New York. She is the 11th grandchild. She is probably in her mid to late 50's. If you have information about Steffie's adopted daughter, please email Debbie at .
