My grandfather was Carl Alvin Ehalt who grew up in St. Bonifacious, MN. His mother's name was Mary, but I can't remember his father's name at the moment and don't have time right now to look for it but I will try to find it. Anyway, Carl Alvin Ehalt - who went by the name Al, married Eleanora Theissen and moved to Canada in the 1920s and then returned to St. Boni after the death of Eleanora with three of his four children. His four children are: Peter, Ferdie, Marie and Joseph (my father). These four children were all born in Canada. Pete still lives in Spalding, Saskatchewan on the family farm and his 4 children are in Canada. Ferdie (4 children) and Marie (7 children) and their families are still in Minnesota, in and around St. Boni. Joseph moved to Kansas in 1968 and he has seven children of which I am the oldest (6 girls and 1 boy). You can email me at
heymsk@cox.net but I won't be able to answer you for a few days as I am studying for my doctoral prelim exams which I take tomorrow and Friday (March 9 and 10, 2006).
