Our Fick Family

From the Isle of Man to Canada

About 1750 Johann Heinrich Fick and his son Daniel left Lubeck, Germany and settled on the tranquil little Isle of Man, in the middle of the Irish Sea.  In 1906, 27 year old William Fick, a 7th generation descendant of Johann Heinrich, sailed away from the isle of Man to start a new life in Canada.  He was joined a few months later by his wife Harriet and daughter Nellie, and within the next 10 years his parents and most of his siblings and their families followed.   Many of these families settled in Toronto, Ontario, but their descendants, now into the 12th generation, are spread across North America.  It is to the living descendants of all branches of this Fick family that these pages are dedicated.
