November 16, 2020 I would like to ask for help with the Gainey Family from Winona, MN. I have reason to believe there was a connection with them to my cousin James Betlach. Please contact me if you know or knew the Gainey Family!! ~Thank you September 16, 2020 I have added many, many death record documents to the Marble Family Vital Records Page. I have added records for Franz Betlach who was held at Auschwitz and Buchenwald until the camp liberation in April 1945. His wife was Josefa and I know that he had at least 2 children. I would like to learn how he is connected to my Betlach family lines. I am also researching the BETTLACH family. *****PLEASE NOTE***** My previous family history web site that contains either geocities or oocities.org in the web address is obsolete and should be regarded as such. Thank you! |
