Has anyone on this list ever heard of these brothers (Martin born
1874-Conrad probably later)
Martin was married somewhere in Volhynia about 1895 or 96 to my great
grandmother Maria Becker Eisbrenner(born Terespol in 1877- may be the
Marianna on record for 1878)) Maria probably grew up in Marianowka or
Sergejuwka with her parents Reinhold Eisbrenner and Susanna Becker. The
Eisbrenners were from Pommerania. I have no idea where the Ficks came from
except that they aren't on any "available" records in Volhynia and the
marriage record from the 1890's is basically unavailable to me. MARTIN FICKS
has been my brickwall for 20 years.
Conrad Ficks married Maria's sister Bertha Becker Eisbrennerr and probably
didn't come to the US or Canada. Joseph Fix met my Martin at the docks in
Philadelphia in 1899. No Joseph Fix or Conrad Fix in the US Census seems to
fit. This is just an inquiry in case someone on this list happens to be a
Ficks/Fix descendant right under my nose! My next step is renting a birth
microfilm for Edenkoben Germany for the 1870's. I saw some promising names
one generation further back listed at the LDS website.
One other possibility- anyone realted to Georg Fix and Auguste Leimert
(having children Adolph and Carl in "Terrapol" and Marianowka in 1882 and
1884)? This is a possible connection to my 3 Ficks/Fix brothers because
they're in the right towns for my family.
Thanks for reading.......Lynn
