    1. Gustaf Boettcher/Betcher - South Bend
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Betcher Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ei.2ADI/2362 Message Board Post: Hi, I'm trying to trace the family of my gg-grandmother, August J. Fandrey (nee Boettcher). She is listed in the 1900 census for South Bend, along with her husband Albert Julius Fandrey, and with her father Gustaf Boettcher (spelled Betcher in the census). There is also a much younger sister (aged 14) whose name appears to be Hester or Hattie. The sister's name is unclear. I have found an immigration record that may match up, the ages of the father & sister are accurate, with the sister's name being Hedwig. If this is a match, I'm looking for a possible wife for Gustaf, named Therese, who may have died some time between 1893 and 1900. The immigration record also has another daughter named Maria, who would be age 18 in 1900. I don't know how long this family was in the South Bend area. I can't find Gustaf in 1910. By then the Fandreys were in Indianapolis. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
