My grandparents were married in St. Marks in 1900 but left New York apparently the next year. My grandmother's family (Ikels) remained there.

I firmly believe there is a relationship between the Ikels family and some Slocum victims, possibly through the Heuer family.

If anyone out there has any connection to the Ikels family please contact me.
