Hello Myrtle, The Hamburg emigrant list for the "Lammershagen" in 1878 lists the IKERT family as Johanna, 66, widow; Eduard, 28, Stellmacher; Ottilie, 24, Frau; Anna, 2, daughter; Louise, 1/2, daughter. All were recorded as being from "Köstin b. Grambow", Pr. (Pr. being an abbreviation for Preussen or Prussia).
