    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/TJB.2ACI/1583.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Ken, My info on the 4 children of Regina and Frank Hapka: My mother Marjorie Helen was born Oct., 27, 1919 in St. Paul, MN, married Warren Royce Johnson on Aug. 7, 1944, in Seattle, WA, had two daughters, Diana Marie born Feb. 20, 1947 in Seattle, WA and Barbara Marie born Dec. 9, 1950. Marjorie died June 5, 2000 in Tualatin, OR. Dad (Warren) was born May 6, 1921 in Monrovia, CA and died in Lynchburg, VA Oct. 2, 2002. I married Donald Edward Ayers June 28, 1969 in Portland, OR. We have three children Roberta Dec. 15, 1973, Terence Mar. 30, 1977 and Stephen April 23, 1984 all born in Shron, PA. My sister Barbara is divorced and has one sone Ian and they live in Centreville, VA. Mom's only brother, Frank was born July 17, 1921 in St. Paul, MN and is widow. His wife was Credwyn Marie Maurice born Feb. 15, 1916 in Seattle, WA and they married April 16, 1955 in Seattle, WA. They have one daughter, Anita Anita Marie born April 2, 1956. Anita is married to a Timothy Taylor and they don't have any children. Mom'st wo younger sisters have passed away. Bonita Marie was born April 17, 1923 in MN and died Nov. 21, 2003 in Billings, MT. She had been married twice and had no children of her own. Her last husband, who I believe is still living is Charles Schweiger. The youngest of the 4 children was Joan Marie born Jan. 4, 1925 in Seattle, WA. She married Robert Nathaniel Nelson on May 25, 1946 in Seattle, WA. They had 7 children; Carol Lllewelyn born Jan 23, 1947, Susan Marie born Aug. 10, 1948, Frank (Fritz) born May 19, 1954, Jeffrey Christopher born Aug. 29, 1956, Lorraine Vivian born July 12, 1958, Roger Craig born April 17, 1961 and Jennifer Jean Nelson born March 11, 1965 all in Seattle, WA. Most of them are married and have children and some of their children have gotten married. Only my son Terry has gotten married thus far. There were 13 children in Grandma Regina's family. One was a priest. In 1983 my family took a trip to MN and visited with some relatives in Pierz and the Little Falls area. Grandma was born June 21, 1897 and her baptized name was Regina Marie Tembreull (2 ls). She marrie Frank Lewis Hapka July 17, 1917 in Pierz, MN and she died Feb 14, 1980 in Seattle, WA. Frank was born Nov 23, 1896 in Little Fall, MN and died Oct 25, 1965 in Seattle, WA. He is one of 4 children. Could this Wm. Hopke be any relation to Frank's father Paul? Paul was a brewmaster and had a saloon in the area-Little Falls, I believe. When people came over from Europe, the officials didn't always get the correct spelling on names, so don't really know if the spelling is Hoppe, Hopke, Hopke, Hapka, but Hapka is what it ended up. What do you have have on the Tembreull's and who/what was your sosurce? What is your connection to this family? If you have any questions, I will try to answer them. Diana Johnson Ayers
