Hi Charles:
In researching my tree I have come to the Aaron Berkey and Emma Lechlitner family and their decsendants. Though there is a good amount of info about these folks out and about on the Internet there is a lot missing. I was hoping you might be able to help fill the gaps and verify what I have pieced together?

1. You mentioned that Walter Berkey (son of Aaron) is your father. I'm assuming this is Walter Monroe Berkey (b. 18 JUL 1906)? Records I found indicate Walter married Merdena Marie Cripe (b. 02 AUG 1909 Bantry, McHenry Co., ND; d. 19 AUG 1933, South Bend, St. Joseph Co., IN). These records also show that Walter and Merdena married on 01 JAN 1930, Elkhart Co., IN. Since Merdena died after only three years of marriage I guess she may have died during or from child birth? Can you confirm or tell me the cause of death? Also, was Merdena your mother or did Walter re-marry after Merdena's death? Do you have any syblings that you can mention?

2. For the Family of Aaron and Emma there is at least some family information on the Internet for 7 of their 11 children. Do you have any further info for their following children?
a. Anna Berkey (supposed married ???? Blocker)
b. Clara Ethel (married Omer Overholser)
c. Goldia (no information available)
d. Mary Edna (married Vernon Harter)

Just for the record, Aaron Berkey is a 2nd cousin, 3 times removed to me.

Thanks for any info you can provide,
Charlie Kron
