Hi!
My maiden name was Frances Fay Elfers. I was born in Charles City, Iowa, on May 22, 1948.
My father was Carl Roy Elfers, born in Floyd County, Iowa, on September 9, 1924. My grandfather was Morris George Elfers. He married Clara Seaton, and they had three children, Wayne, Ruby, and Carl Elfers. I could get those dates from my aunt, but I do not have them readily accessible.
I have a brother, Lynn Dee Elfers, born April 10, 1952, in Charles City, Iowa, who farms the family farm. He and his wife Jane have three daughters.
There are no other Elfers in our area. Last week when I was in Cincinnati, Ohio, I saw 46 listings for Elfers in the tri-state phone book and was VERY surprised.
Since the Elfers line will not be extending with us, I'm curious to know how many are in the country and where we originally came from.
Thanks for any assistance you might be able to give our family.
