He's the son of Alvin, who was the son of Nels and Alma and the brother of Mildred (whom I always heard of referred to as "Midge"). Beyond that it starts getting kind of murky. Also, our family spells it "Tofelt" - not sure how far back that spelling goes. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
