Original surname of Bean family
My maternal grandmother was named Lucy Bell Bean. I never knew her and would like to trace her family tree. The prblem
I have started with is that I have heard several different things about the surname. I have heard 1) Mexican 2) Mexican-Native American 3) Spanish. Also, I have heard that the original name was a long name that was shortened to Bean after they came to this country (from where?) because
people here found it difficult to pronounce and spell.
Any ideas how I should start? Thanks for any suggestions!
