My Marie Zicot was born Marie Francoise CROM and married Adrien ZICOT in Belgium. Her 2nd husband was Isadore DAVE.
I would be interested if anyone knows where in Belgium the DAVE surname originates.

My father's ancestors were from Croatia. I have done extensive research of records back to the 1600's & have not found the Zicot surname there - at least not in the Rijeka/Grobnik/Mrkopalj area. Sorry I am of no help.

I now live in N Italy, very near Croatia. I have learned of the Croatian name Cikot. The C is pronounced much like the English Z; so Cikot and Zicot would sound all but identical.

I have learned Cikot and several variants (Ciko, Cikojevic etc) are very common names in the mountainous Croatian region north and east of Istria.........

Still looking for more. Since it it is only 2 hours drive from here, I hope to drive there and explore for 2 or 3 days in April.

kind regards, Brian

Your post of 9 Feb 2013 indicated that you were searching for a Croatian derivative of ZICOT in the area east of Istria in northern Croatia. I have not seen that surname in the Rejika/ Grobnik/ Mrkopalj
area which is the same area you mention. Was wondering if you had any success in your search.
I still have no further Belgian ZICOT research to report & was hoping you had better luck.
