my grandmother was sarah gick. She was born in Dublin Ireland,in 1868. She had a brother and 2 sisters. Came to the USA in the 1880's. Her father was from the Isle of Man. It is uncertain, but we believe his name was Robert.

Hello there;

I am trying to research my family history so with our surname being so unusual you would think it would be easy but i haven't had much luck yet. Have you?

Hi Richard,

Gicks came either from IOM or Germany. Where did your Gicks come from? I have details on Gicks from Germany:

I have a Robert Gick who came to the USA in the 1880s and lived in PA. He was a dentist and married Grace Lee. He was probably born about 1872, so he would have been about 8 when he came. His census records in 1910 and 1930 say his father was from Irish Free State and mother was from England.

Only just seen your entry. I have a lot of info on the Gicks from the IOM going back to 17th century. I am directly related.

I have info on the IOM Gicks who were farmers and landowners in the south of the Island. I have traced them back to around 1680.

Often wondered did the Gicks go from the Island to Germany, or from Germany to the Island (IOM).

The IOM has strong ancestral links to the Vikings who once controlled it, until it was taken from them by the Scots under Robert the Bruce.

The parliament 'Tynwald' goes back to the Vikings. Parts of North Germany adjoin Viking lands (Scandanavia)so it is possible the Gicks of IOM go back to Viking settlement.
