I think you must have me mistaken for someone else. My dad has4 brothers and 1 sister; Kenny(deseased) Joe (deseased) Jeff, Chris and Lynn. I can't find nobody in our family that knows your dad, so maybe it's another Bobby Ikerd

The Ikerd's that I come from descend from a Peter Eigerdt who later changed his name to Peter Ikerd. From there the Ikerd's and Ikard's have sprung up. Peter found his way to America in 1748. Catawba county, North Carolina is where I found it starts i here in America. Go to http://www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/ikerd/ for the full story... Enjoy!

I just found your message. I'm working on the Ikard/Ikerd family history. We seem to have all descended from Peter Ecker, who arrived on the ship Lydia. I'm working on a website: www.ikardfamily.com. I have a lot more information that I've gathered since the "Family Tree" link was last loaded. I probably won't upload until next weekend, however.

Please feel free to get in touch with me. We can learn together!
