Hi Doug! Thank you for replying. I would love to get more info! Can you explain to me how you are related to Ernest Tjarks? Is he your great-grandfather? My father is Dan Tjarks and my grandfather is Ernest Tjarks (They called him Tuny). It's funny that I should receive your e-mail today after all this time because my Dad is flying in to Cincinnati today for my wedding this weekend. I only get to see him a few times a year and I planned on talking with him about our ancestry. My e-mail address is tonyatjarks@hotmail.com I would love to learn more info - who knows...maybe we could make the family reunion!

Hi

George, I'm interested in the Tjarks information that you have on line. I was recently told that Gehard Tjarks was my GG Grandfather. They seem to think he was married to a Gerdes. My Grandfather was Gehard Folkers from Minonk, Illinois.

I knew Mary Brucker who was married to William Brucker. William was my great uncle on my Grandmother, Alma Brucker Folkers side, her brother. I have a picture of her parents. He was Gehard Tjarks and she was a Janssen, if I'm correct.
Do you know if Gehard Tjarks had children, Frederick, Hanna and Henry??? Is this the same Gehard that was Mary's father?? I found Gehard and Frederick buried in the Sibley Cemetery.

Hi

I grew up around Sibley. I have a lot of relatives living there or close by. Mary Tjarks Brucker is my Great Aunt. She was a very sweet lady. My aunt says that we are related to the Tjarks in a different way then thru G. Aunt Mary. My cousin has a picture, too, that say "our cousins' on the back. Have you ran across any Folkers or Gerdes? I know Maria was a Janssen and we have those in the family, too. Thanks, Di
