Betzner's of Indiana

I'm still digging to locate an actual family tree on Betzner's. I know that somebody has done one, but apparently it isn't online yet. There are some Betzner's in Canada, but if they are related it goes way back to just after the Revolutionary war. It seems that line were loyalists to Brittain, and to remain loyal moved to Canada, where they remain today. Betzners of Indiana are said to have migrated from around Bowling Green, Kentucky in the 1800's. Before that time, I don't know.

I did locate an Oyler family tree, which is my ancestors on my Grandma's side. Here's the link:

You can see where the Betzner's enter into the Oylers. There are a few errors listed under the branch where the Betzners are listed. I notified my distant cousin. She may update her page, but if not, here is part of the Oyler family tree with corrections.

There are still a lot of Wood and Betzners in Indiana around Miami County, I just don't know them all very well. I know there have been some family geneologies done along the Betzner line, but apparently none that have been posted online.

For those interested, the Betzners of Indiana have a long standing date for a family reunion. The first Sunday after the Fourth of July. It is rarely cancelled. I don't have the contact info. I usually get the details from my mom.
