Babler) and wife settled in Jefferson Township of Saline CO, MO in the mid 1850’s and added to their large family of 9 Swiss born children a daughter Berta (J?) Babler born in 1855 in Saline. The 1880 Federal Census shows a Berta J at the age of 25 married to a Christ Nivert (born 1853 in Wertemberg, GR?) and one daughter Luvenia at 1 year old living in Salisbury Township of Chariton CO, MO. Given the age and daughter name, I believe this Berta is the 1855 daughter of Mathias. Are there any clues to when Berta Nivert died and where she is buried? Are there any Nivert records or descendents? Curiously the 1880 census also shows yet another Christ Nivert born 1838 in Prussia married to a Babbler Nivert (b=1848 also in Prussia) and three children (Bettie of 1868, Willie of 1873 and Edna of 1879). Are there any clue on this second Nivert family? Thanks....gary babler Gbabler@aol.com
