My Father was Llody V Ek. His Father was William Ek, Nels E. Ek borned in 1868-1931 was a great great grandfather. The family came from Sweden. If you can be of any help tracing my ancestors I would greatly appreaciate it. I also know that one married a Carlson.

My ggrandmother was Cecilia Ek, born 1867 in Arklestorp, Oppmana Parish, Skane, Sweden. She emigrated to the US in 1885 with one of her brothers, Nils who was born 1864. Another brother Sven had emigrated here in 1884 and a sister Betty in 1891. Other siblings remained in Sweden. I'm not sure where Nils eventually settled but he was in Kansas when he first came here. Could this be your Nels?

Hello, I am wondering if a Lloyd V and Della
M Ek from Montana could be relatives of yours?
I am looking for Ek's from Cokato, Minnesota.
Any suggestion?

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.

Dear Nancy,
Thank you for this information on your family of Ek.
I don't think it is my grandfather's family.
I do have the history on Nels Ek and Inga Peterson, who
may somewhere be distant cousins.
Sincerely, Marvene

I have no info on Nels Ek and Inga Peterson (only their names) Can you share that with me? I am new to this game and am having a LOT of trouble with these surnames changing from generation to generation. I ( and I might add the rest of my family) thank you. Nancy E. Pelletier

Dear Nancy,
Please email me at marvene@in-tch.com
The information on the Ek family is much. Perhaps
I could get your mailing address and just mail you what
I have? Whatever you feel comforable with I will oblige to.
