Many immigrants from Germany with the surname Schmich changed the spelling to Schmick to bring the spelling in line with the English pronunciation.
Some of the first settlers of United States of this name or some of its variants were: Anna Maria Schmidt, who went to New York State in 1710; and Johannes Schmidt who went to Germantown, Pennsylvania between 1683 and 1709.
