My father , Marshall Ek, was born in Cokato ( 1906 - 1980 ) - his father was Ed Ek, ( 1877 - 1972 ) mother Sophia Wade Ek. ( 1889 - 1928 )
Ed was one of 9 children, one is named Gust. I don't know the others.
I think Sophia was from Norway.
Ed Ek's SSA-18 says his parents are Nels Ek and Inga Peterson.
