His wife was Anna Maria KREMGES. Nicholas died in Germany and his wife died in Luxemburg, MN, in Stearns County. Nicholas had a brother, John, that we know of. We believe that he died in Germany. (not sure) Nicholas had five children that emigrated to America (there may have been others left in Germany). They would be Peter (1832-1916), John (1833-1919), Eva (abt 1835-1863), Anna (LOESCH) 1839-1916, Catherine (HANSON) 1843-1918, and Mary (MAJERUS)1846-1921. They all settled in the Stearns County area, most living on nearby farms. They settled in the Luxemburg, Pearl Lake area. Please e-mail me at nmqa@comcast.net if you are related or have a connection.
