Navo and Flick Family of New Orleans
I was contacted a while back regarding the relationship between Simon Jacob Navo and Theresa Flick.I have not been able to tie it to my Flick family exactly but I found something recently that may finally indicate a direct relationship. I recently received the obituary for Catherine Flick Wax and in this obituary is the statement. . . " friends and acquaintances of the Flick, Wax, Navo, Eichorn, and Kipp families are respectfully invited to attend the funeral. . . . "Catherine Flick is a direct line with my Flick family.She married Hubertus Wax and was the daughter of Franz Flick and Margaret Betzer and her brothers were John, Frederick, and Ferdinand Flick. The mentioning of the Navo, Eichorn, and Kipp names in this obituary would indicate a direct relationship to this family and I can't help but think that Theresa Flick, wife of Simon Navo is a member of the same Flick family I have been researching.
On the 1870 New Orleans census, Ward 3, family #338/412 is the following:
Navo, Simonb. 1812 Germany
Navo, Theresab. 1822 Baden
Navo, Johnb. 1850 La
Navo, Peterb. 1856 La
Navo, Josephb. 1858 La
Navo, Martinb. 1860 La
Navo, Georgeb. 1864 La
Navo, Jacobb. 1866 La
Is it possible that Theresa Flick married Simon Navo before they immigrated to the U.S. and that is why I have not been able to find her with my Flick family? My Flick family immigrated in 1847 or 1851.Theresa Flick Navo would have been 25 or 29 years old if she immigrated at the same time as the rest of the Flick family.
Further research has found the following Navo family members:
