Joseph Ikerman was born in Pittsburg, Pa. Circa 1840 His name was changed from the euopean style of spelling. His place of birth was in (?) Belgium. Has anyone traced the line to that point? How can the line be traced back to it's european roots? Any help will be appreciated. I don't know if there was a generation of Ikerman's (spelling) before Joseph or not. I don't know if there were other Ikerman's in the US at the time of or before Joseph in Pittsburg.
