Dear List, Someone a while back was looking for information on the Ex family from Frank, Russia; I believe. You might try the spelling of EKX. I just came across this surname spelling while extracting the G-R's from Welb County, Colorado from the 1920 U.S. Federal Census. The Census says the following. EKX, Henry - Head - Age 20 - Born Saratov - Alien - 1914 - Farm Laborer EKX, Marie - Wife - Age 18 - Born Saratov - Alien - 1914 EKX, Irene - Dau - Age 6m - Born Colorado Gene Jenkins Selah, WA.
