Correspondence 02/27/2004 passenger #193 Nickel
Michael Nickel was my great-great grandfather. Two of his sons had
emigrated earlier, established themselves near Milwaukee (they were
working as loggers and sawyers, cutting ties for the railroad), and
then sent for their father. Michael traveled alone. (An adult daughter
stayed in Germany.)
Looking for information on Albert Friederich Nickel, one of those two
sons. He would have emigrated with three children (Albert F., Hedwig
and Wilhelm/William.) I don't have the name of Michael's other son.
