I'm still looking for any info regarding the FERRICK Family (George Ferrick & wife Anna (Katko) Ferrick that spoke German,came from Austria-Hungary to Mine coal in Iowa, USA in approx 1892... Family members have held fast to the belief our name was never changed "americanized" or spelled phonetically...always claim FERRICK, but I can't find anything prior to Iowa death records stating "Austria.Hungary" for country of origin.
