I am looking for anyone with the last name of Ikenberry or relations of Ikenberry's as I believe we are related.

My mother's father was John Creed Heckman who married Flossie Pearl Clark, but his parents were Creed Heckman and Hanna Ikenberry. Just starting to research some on my mother's side as really working on father's family at this point in time.

My fathers family are Ikeberrys. We're located in Boones Mill VA.

There are other Ikenberrys close by. I don't know what the relation is but there MUST be one because the family resembalance is remarkable.

Hi Amy, thanks for answering. My father's family are from Missouri, but I know that all Ikenberry's are related somehow. If you could give me your dad's name, maybe I can find out where in the chain of Ikenberry's we are related.

Hi! Your family names are also in the Peter Eichenberg book. Your grandfather, John Creed Heckman is in the 5th generation from Peter. If you don't have access to the book, I'd be happy to copy your line and send it to you. Just let me know (jbrown@bridgewater.edu).

Hi! I found your family names in the Peter Eichenberg genealogy book too. You are correct about all those Boones Mill folks being related. A whole lot of you attended Bridgewater College /or Daleville before it closed. Your dad is in the 7th generation from Peter Eichenberg. You should take a day trip up the Valley to Bridgewater -- our library has tons information besides the Peter Eichenberg book.

By the way, so far, all of you on this message board are related thru Peter (except I couldn't find Donald Boitnott). Small world...

I have an old book at home that goes through family history. I never read all the way through it .. I did get to a pint where they described a castle in Germany (w/ a mote) and there is a family churh that (at the time) was across Soviet lines and no one wass allowed in to examine it ...since "things" have changed so much since then I don't know if anyone has looked into it. Thank you for your reply. I might do that ..take a trip that is and find out more. I do have a lot of family that has attended William and Mary. I don't know of anyone at Bridgewater.

Your Family History Book

Amy: We may be talking about the same book. The one we have here discusses the lorded manor of Oak Hill (Eichenberg) the family church located in the former Soviet Union. This book was published in 1955 I think C.S. Ikenberry distributed it to most of the family at that time. If you do have the same book, our BC library also has copies of all of the smaller, unpublished family trees noted in the preface of the book.

On the other note, I think you would likely be surprised at how many of your ancestors have attended Bridgewater. We think that the Ikenberry family is our largest single family alumni group.

To date, I've discovered around 100 Ikenberry alumni decending from only 3 brothers from the 4th generation from Peter to the present and I haven't finished those yet. Of course the names involved (besides Ikenberry) have grown exponentially.
