I have a great, great grandfather – Jacob Betz, who immigrated to America from Bavaria (according to his Census) and was married to Augusta Baumeister from Holstein. They settled in Walla Walla, WA where they owned a brewery. I’m wondering if they’re related to Alois. Jacob was born in 1843 and died in 1912.
Hi, Sean. I suspect not, at least not in that first or second generation pre emigration. Not having pursued our family history in German records makes it impossible to speculate about earlier connections. I suspect we’re all related somehow if you go back far enough :). Thanks for the comment.
