BIOGRAPHY: Janet, we've been corresponding privately, but I wanted to post publicly some of the info. Agatha is a sister to my great-great-grandfather, John Nichter, who settled in Louisville, Ky. Their parents, Georg Michael and Christine/a Schauer had about 12 children and I have copies of their baptismal records from the Catholic parish registry in Doerrenbach, Rheinland-Pfalz. I'm interested in knowing if their son, also Georg (pronounced GAY-org in the old country) Michael, is the same on Bev Tonelli found in Nevada records. To learn more about Doerrenbach and this line, go to www.paintlickreflections.com/doerrenbach.html. I'll be posting additional info there on the genealogy of this line of Nichters, including what I think is a photo of Janet's ancestor, Agatha, which was found in the family photos of two of my John's children. Will gladly correspond with others researching any Nichters. Have an extensive database of hundreds of Nichters from all over after more than 20 years researching my roots.

Hello Rita, My great Grandfather, Henry Nuwer married Elizabeth NICHTER 1843-1923. Elizabeth's parents were Andrew Nichter and Agatha BOHNWITZ, both born in Bavaria, Germany. Elizabeth had a sister, Eva and two brothers, Balthaser (1842-1904)and Francis. Balthaser married Henry Nuwer's sister, Ann Marie. These families were from the Western New York (Buffalo) area. Might this NICHTER family be related to your NICHTER family?

I know a great researcher on this line, but she isn't on the Internet. She's Kathleen Fife Miller. Kathleen's shared with me copies of the baptismal records she found in Doerrenbach, Rheinland-Pfalz, where both of our ancestors were from. Please e-mail me privately and I'll share her mailing address. Here's some of what she's shared with me, but it's been a few years and she was actively searching German records last time we corresponded: Jacob m. Anna Maria Josephine Kunz (b. 1834) on 8 Nov. 1859 in Annweiler, Rheinland-Pfalz. They arrived in the port of New York City on 14 April 1861; no children were listed with them upon arrival. Their children: Mary Nichter, b. 7 APril 1862, in Lafayette, Ind.; (Sr. Athanasia of Franciscan order); d. 27 Oct. 1933; buried St. Boniface Cemetery in Lafayette. Johan Jacob Nichter, b. 26 April 1864; baptized 26 Jun 1864; on 24 Sept. 1890 at St. Boniface m. Catherine Johanna Kessen (b. 1865, d. 18 Dec. 1939 in Bartlesville, Okla.); Johan Jacob d. 1945; bur. St. Peter's Cemetery in Butler, PA Unknown Infant d. 9 Aug. 1865; bur in St. Joseph's Cemetery in Lafayette, Ind. Joannes (John) Nichter, b. 2 Feb. 1867. On 5 Sept. 1893 at St. Boniface (Lafayette) he m. Catherine Reuter (b. 10 March 1866; d. 20 April 1943). John d. 24 Nov. 1943. They are buried at St. Joseph's Cemetery in Delphi, Ind. (The person I told you about descends from this one.) Unknown Infant Nichter d. 4 July 1869; bur St. Joseph's in Lafayette. Matthaes (Matthew) Nichter (aka Neister), b. 21 Sept. 1872; in 1900 census, listed in Tippecanoe Co., Ind., at Matt (in Wea Township, near his birthplace). He was a horse trader living in "a tent." Listed as a boarder in the Enterprise Hotel in 1905-06 according to a listing in the Indiana Room at Tippecanoe. Listed as a "horse dealer (Gypsy)." I believe I found him in the ancestry.com World War I draft listings as living out him the West somewhere. (Sorry--have to run to a meeting and no time to re-find that info.) I have a Web page on Doerrenbach at paintlickreflections.com/doerrenbach.html. Check out the photos! I hope to get more of the other Nichters on the genealogy page ONE of these days. But with three part-time jobs and a family, there has been no time for genealogy lately. Good luck in your search! Let me know if you need Kathleen's address. Rita
