Biography

Parent of a Volga German

I could not find a birth, death or marriage source in online German records. The information for this profile came from the Center for Volga German Studies at Concordia University. His birth place is based on the birth place of his daughter Anna Barbara Schäfer.

Marriage Record for Daughter Anna Barbara Schäfer ^[1]

"Georg Yckes, son of Johann Yckes (ca.1686 – 22 January 1747) & Anna Gertraut (surname unknown), was born on 13 October 1736 in Romrod near Alsfeld. He married in Büdingen on 7 April 1766 to Anna Barbara Schäfer, daughter of Jacob Schäfer (b. 11 January 1695) & Catharina Euler (born 6 March 1701). She was born on 26 April 1745 in nearby Ehringshausen."
