I currently have only a small amount of information available about this family but I am looking for more and I put this page up in hopes that someone out there can help me out. I am most specifically looking for info regarding a Stephen Bednar who was living in New York City around the late 1940s and early 1950s; he was married to a woman named Viva Marie Bennett, who was born around 1905. She may have been born in Canada, though I am not certain. As for Stephen, I know he was older than his wife but I am not certain how much older. If you can give us any information about this family please send me an e-mail to [email protected].

Another Bednar family that may or may not be related to this family is outlined below:
(first I should mention that this particular family has also gone by "Bednarz", "Bednor" and Bednar.)
