To settle an estate, I need to identify living children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren of the aforementioned William M. Beitzel. Known children (all presumably deceased) were Beatrice, Horace C., William Gerald, and Austin M. Austin M. Beitzel (a.k.a James Austin Beitzel ) was born 1904; married Irma Snyder; and had one daughter, Dolores, b. 1927. He d. 1931. His only daughter, Dolores Beitzel died this year (2006) on 14 January, intestate and without children. According to Virginia law, Dolores' estate will go to her aunts and uncles or their children. The children would be her cousins. We have identified all heirs on her maternal (Snyder) side, but have not yet located heirs on the paternal (Beitzel) side -- i.e., children of Beatrice, Horace C., and William Gerald.

Any asistance is greatly appreciated.
