This is getting to be fun !! A whole bunch of Kicks, who, as far as I can tell, are not directly related, but nonetheless are looking for family. Good for you, Kicks !!
My great grandfather Charles, died Dec 1899. I have his approx. DOB looking at census records, and I have a very odd certificate of death that apparently, was redone in the early forties, signed by my great grandmother.
I believe a Kathleen Kick living in Grayslake has responded to this thread - hopefully she is your cousin.
The large Kick family living in Illinois may be a Kick family that lives in and around Kankakee, IL. I had heard about them years ago, but had never met any of them. I am not related to them as far as I know (and it just now occurs to me that I could run a phone listing for Kankakee IL - duh.)
