Hi---I saw your post about Senator Bentsen on 2/25/07 and am interested in finding out more about the Bentsen family.I know I am related to them somehow. My greatgrandmother's maiden name was Bentsen, she married a Nelson and they were in SD.Her first name was either Alvilda or Elvilda, I have seen it spelled both ways.When I was little I can remember hearing talk about the Bentsens that moved to Texas, and when I got older I remember hearing talk about being related to Senator Bentsen.I can also remember hearing that the Bentsens used to come to SD to visit.I am kind of at a stand still in my research because I can't afford the paid genealogy sites and all most of the relatives in this area are deceased or getting old enough that their memory isn't so great any more.If you have any information that can help me I would really appreciate it.All of the information I have has come from the internet, and I found one item that I am not real sure about.I would really like to find the links between the SD Bentsens and the Texas Bentsens.I would also like to find a link between Senatory Bentsen and the one item that I found that I am not sure about.If I could find that link it would give my grandkids an interesting piece of information.If you have any information that can help me please let me know.So many people just leave me dangling.Joan Brown
