hen I traced back on the Ofelt side, as you already know the side originated in Sweden. Nels Ofelt was the actual person who emigrated from Sweden to Minnesota. As for the Strenke on my dad’s side (Charles Ofelt), I traced back to Prussia. Prussia was a nation of modern day Poland, East Germany, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Belarus, and Russia. The Marlow side came from England in the 1700’s. The Strenke side on my mother’s side (Brenda Ofelt) originated from Germany. Turns out my family were incorrect with our ancestry. My ancestors did not originate from what we previously thought. A common misconception with me is that I have four siblings. Unfortunately, for my parents, three of them are dead. Two died about three days apart and the other was premature birth and died soon after.

My uncle Wayne served in the Vietnam Conflict in Cambodia. He said they had regular rocket bombardments and several on-base bombings, usually on ammo dumbs and fuel depots. A general rule was you could not shoot and Vietnamese or Vietcong unless they shot at you first, this meant they had free roam and access throughout the base. You may be wondering if he killed anyone, the answer is yes. He has shot at lines upon waves of Vietnamese just to see more coming at you. W
To start with, my family is huge; we cannot have family reunions inside of houses they have to be in the garage and outside. My family has always been fun and interesting; they have many great stories of the antics they pulled in school. My family side, to my surprise, originated from Sweden. I always thought my ancestors came from Germany, French Canada, or Norway, but the results astounded me (Below is the Family Tree). I have traced back the ancestry on the Ofelt and Marlow side thoroughly, but not as much on the Strenke
