Yes, I have them in my tree. My mother went to church at St John's of Mazeppa, her mother was Hattie Krause and her Grandma was Augusta Korth. Hattie's father, Herman, had a sister who married a Beskow and an Adolphson, and Karoline Blek married my Great-Grandmother's brother Frank Korth. I would like to share notes sometime when you are available. My email is dmeade10@hotmail.com

I think we might have a relation in common, as I am actually a Blek - not a very common last name really.

My Great-grandfather was named Louis Blek, he was born sometime before 1880 in Prussia and married to a Clara Kerner

Louis and Clara had 3 children, Maximillian Louis Blek, Joseph Abraham Louis Blek, and my grandfather Charles Louis Blek, sr. They came to America just before 1900.

My Grandfather was Charles Louis Blek, Sr. (b 1905) he was Married to Dorothea Marie Andrecht

Max Blek was born 11 sep 1894 in Russia, Married to Ida and had 2 children, Libby and Carol

Joseph Blek was born 20 sep 1897 in New York, and married to Ruth. No children that I know of.

We are not directly related, but I am trying to find other people in the area who immigrated from the same area of Prussia. My mother's grandmother was Augusta Korth, her brother married a Blek. They went to church at St John's Evangelical Lutheran Church in Mazeppa Township, Grant Co. My mother's mother was Hattie Krause- her father Herman's sister married a Beskow.

Thanks
