I am seeking descendants of the above-referenced couple; I have recent information (thanks, George!) that leads me to believe they are tied to my BETZ family. I'd be curious if anyone has access to a 1971 (or thereabouts) city directory, if they could look up Mrs. Martha Betz and tell me what address she's at. Thanks. My most recent information about them is from the 1930 census where I find them in the 5th ward, ED 15-48, Sheet 23a, living at 19 rear Madison Street: Betz, William, 44, age 24 at first marriage, b. NY, parents b. Germany [probably incorrect], press hand, machine shop. [probably deceased by 1971] Betz, Martha, wife, 41, age 20 at first marrage, b. NY [still alive as of 1971] Betz, Dorothy, dau, 14, b. NY Betz, Catherine, dau, 17, b. NY, polisher, lens co. Betz, Henrietta, dau, 15, b. NY, polisher, lens co. Betz, Edith, dau, 13, b. NY Betz, Mildred, dau, 9, b. NY Betz, William, Jr., son, 8, b. NY Betz, Irving, son, 5, b. NY Betz, Shirley, son, 3, b. NY Betz, Jean, dau, 4 months or 8 months, b. NY If you are researching or related to this family, please contact me; if my theory turns out to be accurate, I have *significant* documentation back MANY generations.

Jillaine, I'm leaving for Russia soon, but I'll be back in the US in about a month. If you don't have answers to your Betz questions by then, write me again with the current state of your request and I'll see what I can do. George
