hope this gets you straightened out on the Betts background of your Oren.So,tell us what you know regarding Oren's family... do you have children of Sanford, & Chester?I would be interested, as these folks took a long time to figure out,and even though in the end they were not my line I still have a soft spot for them... kind regards,sara
