Appolonie:
Are you still actively doing genealogy research on the Licks family? I to am researching my Lix/Licks family roots. The name was spelled both ways in the old church records in Germany. My relatives originally came from the Hesse Darmstadt region of Germany - Essleborn/Alzey to be exact. I have been able to find limited information about them, some of whom were named Peter and Appollonia; also a Gabriel. However, I cannot say whether we might be related or not, but I would certainly be interested in finding out, if this is still an active thread for you.
If you get this and care to respond, my e-mail is
d_licks@hotmail.com.
Best regards,
Douglas Licks
