Looking for Descendants of Adam and Ida (maiden name unknown) Fikentscher who came from Germany c. 1871-1873 and settled in Campbell County, Kentucky (a suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio) until about 1900 when they relocated to Philadelphia and stayed there many years. Adam and Ida's children were: Amelia, Clifford, John A., Alfred,Flora, Willie and Albert. John Fikentscher married Julia Conderhaar in Philadelphia c. 1906.

john and julia fikentscher are my daughter's great grandparents. as i recall, here are their children- john, who choked to death on a penny as a child, arthur, who passed away in the past few years lived in new jersey and was a retired army colonel. william, who died in the late 60's in norfolk, va where he retired after a naval career, ed, is still living and lives in the original homestead in south philly, and i am pretty sure they also had a daughter, julia, who i don't know much about at all. my bret fikentscher is the son of william and he has a sister in atlanta. there is also a sister who was raised by mr and mrs fikentscher, but was really the daughter of mrs. fikentscher's sister. however, she was the oldest and spent the most time with mr. and mrs. fikentscher and she lives in cincinnati. i never met mr. fikentscher as he was deceased when i met bret. i know that bret has cousins as well. let us hear from you and i will pass your post along to bret. thanks, eileen.
