    It was great to find your tree with the Levy family.

    I've been struggling for years to get details on Gustav Bettman, second husband of my paternal grandmother, Montana MAY Grover Lovegren Bettman. Gustav, Cecile and their children were social friends with May and her 3 LOVEGREN sons, Frank Jonathan "John" (my dad), Hugh Alton & Lew Nathan.

    Here are my dad's December 1975 notes about Gustav:
    "Bettman, Gustav, May Grover Lovegren's second husband. At time of their marriage he was well up in his 80's. When he told his son, Gerald, that he was getting married, the son asked, "Is it anyone I know?". When told that it was May Lovegren, Gerald's reaction was, "Hooray!". His daughter Catharine (named for her mother) looked after her father after he went back to California. The Lovegrens and Bettmans were very active in PTA work in Bellingham in the early 20's or before. I can remember when we went on a trip to San Mateo we stayed overnight with the Bettmans in the Grand Hotel in San Francisco which they were managing at the time. This hotel was one of the few downtown structures not burned in the earthquake and fire in 1906."

    My tree on Ancestry.com is public.

    Hi Lars,
    The information I have on Gustav Bettman is as follows:
    Gustav Bettman, born 11/17/1864 San Francisco, CA, married Cecile Lobe 2/12/1905 Seattle, WA, died 4/13/1953 San Francisco, CA.
    Father: Sigmond Bettman, born 1834 Ebelsbach, Bavaria, married 1863 San Francisco, CA, died 8/18/1887 Olympia, WA.
    Mother: Cecilia Oppenheimer Bettman, born 1841 Hesse, Darmstadt, died 12/11/1865 San Francisco, CA.
    Mother's father: Loeb Oppenheimer of Hesse, Darmstadt.

    I have an historical photograph of soldiers marching with a note by Kaye Reinhertz, "my father Gustav Bettman,Olympian Territorial Guard 1882." But you can't identify him in the photo. Email me at dawncerf[at]gmail.com for a copy.
