Excerpt from Genealogical, Biographical and Pictorial History of the Bettschen Family and Its Connections Mrs. Isabella Becker of Olean, N. Y., who has done much toward completing this work. This most estimable lady besides attending to her household duties and doing other work, devoted both time and talent to get this work readv for the press. No financial advantage has been in view, but a desire to, if possible, bring about a closer relationship, greater sympathy and a better social feeling among the entire family. Some of those who will read this geneology will be pleasingly surprised when thev learn the extent of their relation; how they are spread o\'er-a large area both in Europe and in America, when they find out how that some of their hither to unknown ancesters were in high social standing, holding responsible offices and mov ing in honorable society, as well as persons who left behind records of pious Christian lives and charitable acts, the now dorment sympathy lying in the human heart will be awakened and a warm feeling of love created toward many of whom they had never heard.
