MY GERMAN STORY

MY GERMAN STORY - FAMILY HISTORY

ULM, GERMANY

Ulm Germany photographs.
Ulm is in Baden Württemberg which is where my Vater (Father) was born. My Vater was born Johann Kirchner & adopted by the Bean's from Townsend, Tennessee. Allen Bean was a soldier in the U.S.

Army stationed in Germany. That is where Allen & Irene Bean adopted my Vater from. After being adopted my Vater became Harvey Bean. My Großvater (Grandfather) Georg Kirchner was a soldier in the German Army during Adolf Hitler's reign. My Großvater was born in Orfalu Hungary & my Oma (Grandmother) Margarete Weiss was born in Austria. George & Margarete had 3 children Georg Jr, my Vater Johann Kirchner, & Erica Kirchner. My Oma disappeared with Georg Jr from what I understand but her and Georg's whereabouts or what happened to them are really still unknown. After Margarete & George Jr disappeared, my Großvater remarried and they had a child, Heinrich Kirchner who goes by Hank Kirchner. And my Großvater & his new wife & Heinrich migrated to Canada where my Großvater became a Tobacco Farmer. My Vater was adopted before he learned to speak Deutsch & he has no recollection of his life as a child in Deutschland. He had no knowledge that he had siblings. I am (Harvey) Johann's

child & I am 35 years old. Over the years I decided to search for my Vater's family which led me to no where but one day I found an adoption website which was a site for people who have been adopted to find their birth family. So I put my Vater's information on that website & after all those years of searching & wanting to give up hope in 2013 I finally got an e-mail. The e-mail was from a woman named Paula who claimed to be my cousin. Turns out she was my cousin. Her Mutter (mother) was my Vater's (father's) sister. So I found out my Vater had a sister who was 1 year older than him. And she is married with a son & daughter so I had 2 cousins. The next day I received another e-mail this time this was from a woman named Marcia (Marcie). She said my Vater had a half brother named Hank (Heinrich). Marcie was my Aunt by marriage. She told me she was Hank's 2nd wife & that Hank had 4 children. I was so excited more cousins for me. Hank (Heinrich) married Debbie and had 4 children; Will, Sandy, Sherry & Mike. Will has 2 kids, a boy & girl. Sandy has 2 kids, Cayla & Mitchell. Sherry has 2 kids, Cordel & Jadeith. Mike is married & has no kids yet just fur babies. Hank & Debbie divorced & he remarried Marcia(Marcie), they have no children. Erica & her

family live in Ontario on the East side of Canada. Hank & his family live in British Columbia, the West side of Canada. To this day I still have not found any information on my Oma Kirchner or my Uncle Georg Kirchner Jr but I don't give up hope in finding them or finding out what happened to them. I am close to my Uncle Hank's side of the family not so close to my Aunt Erica's side though. So in 2013 since I found my Vater's family we all made plans to meet. My Uncle Hank & Marcie flew down from British Columbia to Virginia & my Aunt Erica & her husband Paul drove down from Ontario to where we live & we all met. They stayed for almost a week. We all went out to dinner at Outback Steakhouse & I showed them the sights & we all spent time together talking & making memories. My family history research like I said before is still not complete as I am still trying to gather information on my Vater's family & find out information on where my Oma & Uncle Georg are or where they went. I will continue on my quest to find the rest of the information on my German family and will not give up until I die. 

Family Search Making Me Angry

I am searching for anything I can on my Grandma Kirchner and Uncle Georg Kirchner and I am not finding much. It is frustrating me and I am getting very angry and want to punch someone in the face. My family has secrets things I don't know but I seek to find out. If only I knew where my Grandma went after she left my Grandpa. She had to of taken Uncle Georg with her because as far as I know he didn't stay with Grandpa Kirchner. Grandpa Kirchner was a violent angry man from what I have heard. So what the fuck happened to them? There has to be something, anything about them. If I had more information about them I could probably find out more about them but I got nothing. I just feel like with the way my Grandpa was and how he acted that is why there are so many secrets and no one wants to give up information. Maybe he was a bad man, maybe he killed Grandma Kirchner and Uncle Georg or maybe they escaped from him and if they did where did they go? Back to Austria where my Grandma's from? Or did they escape to the United States? Ahhhhhh I am so frustrated, I want to know the truth. I am seriously angry right now. Frustrated and angry. Its like there is no trace of them. Or have I seen information about them and overlooked it because I didn't know it was info about them? Grrrrr. I need to take a freakin anxiety pill. I will not stop until I find out the truth. Its important to me. I found my dad's siblings, I have gotten this far so I am not stopping now.

Family Research

I am working on my family tree. I am working on the Kirchner side of the family right now. I am doing searches to find out information. I could ask but it would be probably be pointless because it seems like no one wants to give me any information or cares about our family history. So since no one wants to give me any information I will just find it on my own. Even if I have to pay for that information because that is an option. I was thinking about doing that to find out info for my Grandma Kirchner because I am at a dead end with her. I have very little info on her or what happened to her or if she's alive or died. And I have hardly any information at all on my Uncle Georg Jr. I might have to pay to get information on what happened to him and if he's still alive. Maybe I will post an ad on the adoption website for my Uncle Georg. That's how I found my family maybe that will help me find Uncle Georg and Grandma Kirchner. I shall spend the rest of my life trying to find them or information on them. I shall die finding out the truth of what happened. I will not stop trying to find out the truth. I love researching my family history. Now back at it.
