Hi!
Wow! I have just come across all of this information, and I’m in awe of the amount of detail that has already been provided. This has filled so many gaps in my own family history on my mother’s side, but there are still so many questions !
My great grandmother was Regina Bessie Yensch / Butler. I am one of the granddaughters of Myron Butler (Tallangatta). For such a long time, many of my relatives have tried to find history of Regina Bessie, including details of her parents, her birth details and her children. I’ve read through all of the replies in this thread to date, and have enjoyed finding out some of the details we have been missing for such a long time.
Robyn F, I am very much interested in the Yensch family tree book you mentioned - would you mind telling me what it is called, who authored it, and how I can get a copy of it please?
Also Robyn F, most of the attachments you loaded in your replies appear to have been removed, and I’m not able to view them. Would it be possible for you to either add them again, or perhaps email them to me please?
I’m also very interested in the birth record for Regina Bessie - I have seen mention of Regina Bertha - was this her given name at birth (later changed to Regina Bessie?), or is it someone else’s record, or is it an error?
There is mention that Regina Bessie (Yensch) Butler and William Butler had 17 children, and 5 still births, however I have been advised by other sources that they may have in fact had 19 children, and one of those missing from the records was named Roy. Is anyone able to shed any further light on this?
