Surnames: Bitner, Hicklan Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/XKE.2ACIB/139 Message Board Post: Trying to find the parents of my GGrandParents. Jacob was born in the 1860 and died about 1945, his spouse Ida Hicklan died about 1946. Both lived and died in Bates Co. Missouri and apparently imigrated from Iowa. We believe that Jacob is some how related to a Joseph Bitner (either brother or cousin)who lived in Iowa. They had 10 children of which only 5 survived past infancy. Any information would be appreciated.
