Keolker - There are so few of us and we're all related. Our line is easily traced back just a few generations to Frank and Maggie. If you're a Keolker, or have some Keolker blood flowing through your veins, add a note to the message board and let us know who you are. My ancestral line: Frank Koelker (later Keolker) & Margaretha Mazelhoff > Christopher Keolker, Clara Vogel > Mello Keolker, Yvonne Van Daele > Thomas Keolker

My father was a 1/2 brother of Clara Vogel Keolker. I am from Illinois but the Keolkers moved to Kennewick, WA area after their marriage in 1899 in Il.

I have just started to look at the Keolker family, the oldest son Franklin married Christina Brand/t in 1897 in Clinton Co, IL. Christina is the sister of of Mary and Emily Brandt who married two Sonnenberg brothers in Clinton Co. I am a Sonnenberg descendant but have been trying to explore the Brandt and Koelker lines. I have a wonderful old photo of some of the Brandt and Sonnenberg, and perhaps Koelker family members. I was wondering if we could share some information.

Any remarks would be useful. I've al lot of raw material.
