Schake Family Genealogy

My mother is a Schake, daughter of Walter and Birdelle (Porter) Schake. Walter and Birdelle lived in Waterloo, Iowa for most of their lives (both are deceased). They had seven children: Warren (now deceased), Marlyn, James (died at age 14 in a car accident), Ardyce (my mom), Darla, Darrell, and Dale.

Grandpa Schake (Walter) was from a big family (I think my mom said he was one of 12 kids - I'll confirm all of this as I get it down) and grew up Minnesota.
