Up-date;  We are of Joachim I Fick-son of Peter, who is the son of Peter-second son of Detlef 1694 -who is the son of 384) Hans Ficke b.1661Nottensdorf d.Mar 7 1725 Nottensdorf, wife unkn Frau Ficke d.Apr---1725 buried Ev.Apensen. 

Gnarrenburg locale heritage book found on ancesty, the person states that Joachim Fick is from Neuendamm, Islersheim (found only on update on Adelaid Buck family. )  Though this site I learned the placement of the Hinrich whom died in the homeland,so his placement frpm one is in number 5. Nov 28 1886 d. before 1893. 4. Johann should had been in church book-his confirmation states born in Lindorf. ( But wonder if still have Hinrich circa 1877 ?) Loui Fick said he would had 15 siblings if all had lived.

1.-3., Joachim III,Hinrich & Peter, Peter Fick born-Bremerhaven (Bremen Harbor), this would be under Bremen's domaine.  Joachim II Fick must had job there, wonder if worked in building ships-doubt, trade-doubt , fishing-commercial ?  Being farmers, my guess is laborer of one of the three.  He was most likely saving up money for the future & returned to wife's hometown 1884/5, Lindorf for about 7 years.  

We know Joachim Fick II- father is Joachim I.  We know Joachim II had a brother Peter, who remained in Germany. (would this mean, Peter older, if so, then Joachim I father is Peter)?

  Being the 2nd living daughter of Joachim Fick II, is Catharine b.1884 & died months later-the last known daughter born, would this mean Joachim I wife Catharine ? 1st born daughter was Rebecka Bertha, for Rebecca Aldag, but who is Bertha ?  A possible sister of Joachim II's ? Yes there was a sister, and Peter may had a daughter of that name ?

Who was baby/child Adelheid Fick also buried at the Belidere Cemetery that our Catharine is buried in too?    Catharine's twin 1894 or Hinrich 1895 ?  Unmarked grave , Russel Meyers said 1991 when confirmed Catherine ours, but didn't get back to him to confirm Adeleid,or ask if they are near each other or which books were burned old St Perter's books or the cemetery or both?  Russel passed away Oct 30 1994.  Or could she belong to Juergen "George" & Marie Fick of Bear Valley? 1895 Hinrich & Peter was confirmed  at St. Peters

Who was Johann Fick-John Fick of Jersey City, New Jersey ?  Brother,1st cousin? John Fick b.Sep 1854 USA 1872 naturalised, Sophia wife b.Nov 1864 USA 1890,Gertude b.July 1892 NJ Johanna b.Jan 1896 NJ.  Gertrude married Louis Bott, Gertrude Bott b.July 31 1892 d.Apr__1977 Jersey City,Hudson Co.New Jersey,Louis Bott b.Aug 3 1899-d.May__1966 Jersey City, Johanna married George Ensemenger. There is a John Fick b.1896 d.July 1 1896 Hoboken,Hudson Co.New Jersey ,father John Fick born in Germany-possible twin of Johanna ?, but must say 1900 & 1910 2 children-2 live in census's.   John Fick must had died after 1900-1910? And Sophia may had came USA 1888 as Sophie Huelsmann. (1910 Jersey City,NJ-161 Sussex St. widow, USA 1888)

1880 Brooklyn,Kings Co.NY 213 Meserole Street,John Fick 24 Prussia works in store

Johann Fick 36,b,Germany circa 1855 married Sep 8 1891 Jersey City New Jersey,Hudson county to Anna Sophie D. Huelsmann 27 yrs b.Germany circa 1864

1895 Jersey City,NJ John Fick page 236 & 33

John Fick 17 yrs Bremen to NY, Sep 13 1872 "Frankfurt"

My thinking is that Joachim I Fick father is Peter Fick in  Neuendamm area, possible wife of Joachim I or his mother -Catharine.  That Joachim I Fick had a older brother Peter Fick,possible Johann, possible sisters Adeleid,Bertha ,Metta,Katherine.  Peter Fick son of Joachim I, my papers are missing again, so I don't trust my memory, Johann,Katherine,Metta,Bertha-she maybe daughter of half sister ? 6 or more daughters of two marriages,2 full sisters USA, 1 half sis with daughter USA,3 daughters remained in Germany, one married Peters,Klindworth & Buck or Heins.

1922 Joachim Fick II went to visit brother & family in Germany,father Joachim was dead ( before 1893 ),Sophia Fick of 161 Sussex Street Jersey City New Jersey (widow of John Fick) was in care of his passport til he picked it up. Left New York on the "Americia" May 20 1922 & returned August 25 1922 on the "Hanover" from Bremen to NY

The Joachim Fick II family, had arrived on the "Strassburg" May 25 1893,Bremen to New York- sounds like the family stayed short time in Jersey City?, Henry Mathias Fick said came to port of Jersey City,NJ, Joachim Jr says port of NY,NY. Peter Fick says port of Jersey City,NJ. (Ellis Island)

My Fick info from Fred Buck, there is my Neuendamm Fick family, guess what- it another line off of Detlef 1694,son Peter 1741 m.1763 Mette Dammann, son Peter 1771 2nd m.1812 Anna Dede, (1/2 sibs Peter & Adeleid,Rebecka,Johann,Mette & Claus of 1st m. of Margaretha Wibush !) Full sibs Margaretha,Anna & Hinrich.  Joachim & Catharina Rischbode Fick, had Peter Aug 27 1849 & Adeleid Oct 7 1851, but it stops there !

Good grief-just when I thought I got it-searched my cousins & this looked so much it ! Does this mean no other children or means that I need to get it researched ? Come on cousin's let me know that it means-research on this family or other Neuendamm Fick family ?

Joachim Fick (I ?) b.June 22 1819 Neuendamm Kirchspeil Bremervoerde, married Dec 7 1848 Bremervoerde Catherina Margaretha Rischbode-daughter of Johann Rischbode ( did they have a Joachim 1857-he would fit ?) I've hunted the net,rootsweb.world connect, unless missed- he may have came from & not born there ? And there is nothing I can do about this this year or next,unsure if can the following year?  Arrgh !!!!!! So close I could almost grasp them-just out my reach !!!!!!!!!!! Yikes this is going to fester like an bad wound needing a cure ! Yep gone weepy ! Fiddle sticks !
