So far that theory has not panned out, but it seems a waste to trash the research I've done so far and thought that it might be useful for others who are researching the name NICKEL. I haven't done the dual source check that I usually try for since the families haven't shown to be part of the family tree; some risk that there are some errors. > > There remains the possibility that Johann August Nickel may be the brother or cousin of my 2nd great grandfather. Both were born in Berlin about the same time frame, circa 1830 and both had children that immigrated to Cleveland, OH. Both families were Lutheran. Not enough to be convincing of a relationship, but enough to pursue the connection. Any information on the ancestors of Johann [or siblings] would be appreciated. > > Generation One > > > 1.
