Hi Lori,
My name is Courtney Morris, but my mother is Barbara Ann Ickes, and her parents were both born in PA. Their names are Eulla Ickes and Joseph Ickes. As in your case Harold Ickes is a cousin to us. My mother has always been interested in finding relatives, as there always seems to be debate on whether we are german or dutch. I was happy to see you wrote we are dutch. Although not from Fishertown, her dad Jospeh Ickes was born in Port Angeles, WA, and later his parents moved to PA and settled in Pavia, where there is actually an Ickes RD. Let me know if you want or have any more information on the family! My family lives in Raleigh, NC!
