William is my grandfather. My mother is Juanita. omg I am in tears I have known since 1970 that my grandfather was William or Will Benson and I have been searching since. I did not find out that my mother was Juanita until my uncle Calvin Benson told me in 1969 even though he was always in my life since I was removed from my mother in Chicago and taken to Ohio by my father. I also was raised around an Uncle named Dale Benson aka Shaver Benson. Is he familiar to you? I have a million questions and I am eager to answer all of yours for [email protected] and is villamaya your name or a handle? I see Hicks in your posts...there is a strong connection between these families Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
