In 1992 the Town of Dörrenbach, Germany celebrated the 1000th year anniversary of its establishment. For that occasion Walter Schlicher authored a book, entitled, Dörrenbach 992-1992.

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
