January 2024 - Allen Ehrke

  Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and is looking forward to 2024! I will get you caught up on Allen’s family: Tim (the oldest) and Allen R.(the youngest) live in Viborg, SD. Tim works at the local school a couple days a week, and both volunteer with Feed South Dakota. They also keep busy with their pets - a dog and a cat.  Greg and his wife Mindy moved to Tyler, MN this past fall as Mindy became the head pastor at the Tyler parish. Greg retired from teaching about four years ago but continues to substitute teach occasionally. Their oldest son, Chris, lives in Tea, SD and works for Wells Fargo bank. Their daughter Sara welcomed her first child, Ronen, with husband Chad in March. They are living in Sioux Falls, SD.

November 2023 - Frances Ehrke

 Frances Carmine (Ehrke) Hello to all of our Ehrke Family!  I am so excited to be able to help get the World Famous Ehrke Family Round Robin kicked off!  We hope you are all doing well in your part of the world.  It was SO much fun being able to see those who were able to attend the reunion in Aberdeen and such an honor to meet some of our family whom we have never met before! OK, so what's been happening over the past year on Fran's family tree branch?  Lots!  I will start with her children's families in order of age, beginning with Judy's family.

Ehrke Reunion 2023

We had an unforgettable reunion hosted by Jean Ann Bell and Barbara Howe in September.  Along with their significate others and children the reunion went off without a hitch!  Everything was perfect, lots of pictures, articles, stories, memories and one of the best tours that took us all back to the times of the Ehrke Farm. Here is a message from our hosts: "We held the family reunion on September 7 thru the 9th.  There were 22 in attendance.  This took place in Aberdeen where it all started.  The highlights were the tour of sights important to the family, celebration of life for those that passed in the past year, a video of the journey home from the start of the reunion 40 years ago, family dinner, visiting and special daily drinks." Everything was perfect and a HUGE thank you to ALL that were involved in putting this fantastic reunion together! Here are photos from the amazing event:  Ehrke 2023 Photos If you took photos we would love to see them. Please share them to th

Welcome!

  (Photo from the 2023 Ehrke Reunion in Aberdeen, South Dakota) Hello and welcome to the Ehrke Family website!  We are so glad you are here! On this site you will be able to catch up on everything Ehrke!  We will bring the original 9's Round Robin back to life while we all share updates, stories, photos and more. All we need is for each of the Original 9's families to assign a spokesperson.  That spokesperson will send in an update on how everyone from their 9's lineage is doing, exciting updates, photos, etc. for us all to read and enjoy.  We will take turns in the order of the Original 9's births (Albert, Frances, Arleen, Allen, Warren, Anita, Jean, Ronald, Robert) so an update will only need to be sent in once every 8 months. We are very excited to stay up to date with everyone and find out what has been going on with all of the families on the Ehrke tree.
