Family Tree
We have been working on the genealogy of our family
for almost a year. We have harvested information from many
sources and currently have over 1700 individuals recorded. The
most extensive, being the Wefel and Orloske families. Once we started to compile the data, we discovered many
errors. Mathematically we have been able to correct many of the
errors (i.e. a child being born after the parent had died).
To further complicate the research of our family, we have observed that factual publications and public records show a variety of spellings for the family name (Orloske, Orlowski, Orluske, Orluski and even Orlofske or Orlofski) .
However, we now have partial family history dating back some 400 years. If you are part of this family, please contact us.
Family reunions are held on the 3rd Sunday of July. All are welcome. It's a pot-luck affair. Mavis & Robert Schwanke will be hosting.
Information Needed
If you have any information about the
Gus Orloske and/or Helene Wefel Family, please contact us.
We are also looking for more info on Gus' siblings - John, Caroline, Augustine, Eda, Anna, Otto, & William and their descendents. As you can see, what we have is quite limited. Please help if you can.

Wefel help is needed... as you can see. We have very little
information.
What we want to accomplish with this site is to establish an FREE
informational hub, containing accurate
ancestral, descendant
and personal history of the family of Gus & Helene Orloske (Orlowski) and
their families.
If you find errors, please let us know. We are missing many dates of
when individuals were born, confirmed, graduated, married and/or died.
Again, please send us all the information you have. If it's a little or
a lot, we'll take it all. And photos... we need photos.
