Hello Mary:
My relatives from Germany include (in part):
Paul KLICK b 1707 m Dorthea NOTKE b 1728
Child Johann Klick uknown birth year, m. Anna Catharina JANUSCHKE
child Paul Klick b about 1802
child Martin Adam Klick b 12-24-1808 (my gg grandfather) m Caroline BOCK b 3-14-1813 -- They had nine children and emigrated from Sarbske, Kreis Laudenburg, Pommern (Northern Germany, near the Baltic Sea) to the U.S. on July 8, 1858. They sailed from Bremen in a wooden saliboat "Keana Barque Union" for 54 days arriving in NY September 15, 1858. The family then settled near Herman, Missouri. I have extensive records on those Klick relatives and their descendants.
I spent three years with the U.S. Army in Germany (including Stutgart) so have a strong interest in Deutschland. Speaking of that, let me know if you would like to receive a copy of "English the Preferred Language" (a spoof on the German language). It is hilarious :)
Best wishes,
Dave Klick
