So im trying to track down my gmas side of the family she was born with the last name piker her fathers name is eugene alpha piker but he died when she was very young so she doesnt know much. They were from bradford arkansas my gma was even born there. eugene married my g gma stella snelson in jackson arkansas in 1950. His est birth year is 1927. I dont know much so im not sure where to start. She knows that eugenes father and gpa came over on a boat from poland and rode in a wagon to bradford ak. The only thing i can find on him is their marriage license that doesnt give much info. u can email me at missamm2@gmail.com any help would be greatly appreciated thank u

Hi, there!!

From what I have found, there are 2 main branches of the Pikers that came over from Germany in the mid-late 1800s. One group stayed in Indiana area, the other group went to Arkansas. They mostly live in Sercy, Arkansas.

My line stayed in Indiana, but I will forward your message to another researcher that may have more info on the Arkansas line.

You may try checking the Arkansas page on USGenWeb. You will probably have better luck there.

Best wishes on your search!! Linda Trimm Piker

That sounds like the Eugene Piker I have listed as a son of Newton Adley Piker and Evadeen Willis. I don't have much on Newt's kids as he had somewhere around 25 of them and so far no one has been able to sort them out completely. I have a picture of Newt and Evadeen if you are interested. Newton and my grandmother were half siblings.

Happy to share any info you might want.
