Beckners in Va/Tn
My grandfather was Thomas Beckner, he lived in Norfolk Va, also in Richmond, but I believe he originally was from Tn, not sure though. He died in 1977. My mothers is Joan Ellen Beckner, she currently resides in Williamsburg Va. I have an aunt originally from Va, Pat Beckner, now in Utah. He did have a brother I never met, believe his name was John. My grandfather passed when I was young so unfortunatly I never got to know him too well, or learn about my lineage. He married Bertrice Wright, my grandmother, she was from either the Petersburg or Richmond area, not sure which. She as well passed when I was young. I'm curious to know if anyone on the board may have known my grandfather, I really dont know much about my mothers side, she never does talk much about it, I believe he may have been somewhat abusive and I do know that he was a heavy drinker, cirrosis took him out in 77. Maybe these are the "Black Sheep Beckners"
