The family lived at 327 Maple St. in Buffalo and were in Block H, 3rd E/D, Ward 15, page 26.

I can't find William ANWHERE in the U.S. in 1920,

1930 Buffalo, Erie Co., NY: 5th ward, ED 15-48, Sheet 23a, image 269 at Genealogy.com: 19 rear Madison Street:

  • Betz, William, 44, age 24 at first marriage, b. NY, parents b. Germany, press hand, machine shop.
  • Betz, Martha, wife, 41, age 20 at first marrage, b. NY

  • Betz, Jean, dau, 4 months or 8 months, b. NY

This is further supported by the 1971 death notice of Arthur Busch, brother-in-law of William. He is identified as brother to "Mrs. Martha Betz".

This is a strong candidate for a living BETZ descendant of Joh. Heinrich and Christina Betz...

BUT!!! See http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jillaine/betz/BETZResearchers.htm -- there is a William Betz, b. 1885, son of a William Betz, who this could also be.
