I have a Nicholas William Hammes Jan 25, 1861 - Sep 02, 1940 married to Anna C. Landsberger. Anna was born in Dakota Co., MN and died in Mpls. MN. They had 11 children. The second child was born in West St. Paul, Dakota Co., MN, the next three were born in Clara City, Chippewa Co., MN. They lived in Sykeston ND until 1921. I don't know Nicholas' parentage. I am researching Anna's family, her mother was Agatha Beissel.
