Hi Laura
Just talked to my Mom, and I didn't realize that she was (is) your God Mother?
I don't have much info on the Beingessner side. My brother Jeffrey is the one that look into that.
Mom and Dad are still in Calgary, along with three of our siblings. Two of us live in British Columbia, and one in Manitoba. We all are married, and gave Mom and Dad twenty grand children in total.
It would be great to get more info, and see if we have anything to add to the history book!!
