Hello fellow Ikerd descendants!
The rootsweb site for Catawba County, NC has many many Ikerds on it, as does my rootsweb worldconnect site.
The addresses are:
www.rootsweb.com/~nccatawb/ and
worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=SHOWdb=hcatrecno=0
Happy hunting! And please feel free to contact me if you find a connection. I would love to hear from you!
