Hi Brett, I too am a decendent of the Beitzels. Not sure what exactly you are looking for but they had 7 children according to my records. Edwin's parents were Johan and Harriett _____ Beitzel. Harriett was Johan's second wife. Harriett died 11 days after Edwin's birth and he was raised by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Eppley. There children were Charles H., Amelia, William, Harry J., Warren, Effie, Maude. Hope this is of help. If there is anymore infro.you are looking for I'll be glad to help if I can. Jane Mula
