I was just in Iowa in July for a family reunion, at the church I attended as a child and young adult. It is near Monticello and Scotch Grove. That is beautiful country. I don't recall ever seeing the BEES or BIS name there. However, there are a lot of Bohemians in the area and, as my dad always used to point out, they were the ones who provided competition with the Germans as far as beautiful farms with gorgeous flowers and clean fence rows. Is this BEES/BIS great-grandfather of yours connected to the STEDMAN? Or is that a different line? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
