Ray K Iles

Ray (Kruse) Iles’s tracing of his German cabinet-making ancestors resulted in his discovery that the British Olympic Fencing competitor - Richard Kruse - was his direct cousin.

His genetic family traces back to immigration of Germans and Danes from Schleswig-Holstein to the UK and London in particular, at the time of the Schleswig-Holstein War of 1850 and Bismarck’s campaign to unite the German states in the Reich.
