Our family has lost track of my Grandfather's brother. My grandfather was Valentine Silas Nix, born in Wendelin, IL. His brother, John Baptist Adam Nix, was born Jan. 11, 1898 also in Wendelin, IL. Wendelin is in Jasper county. There were 6 children of John Baptist Nix and Anna Lilly Kistner. Anna was pregnant with John when the older John died. My Father, Robert Dale NIx, was in the Navy during WW2. He was stationed at Harvey Field, at Indo Kern, California, on the Mahovie Desert, dry China Lake, between Bakersfield and Los Angeles. John, his uncle, lived in Los Angeles at that time (1944-1946). My dad not being very interested in Genealogy doesn't remember much about John, but he had a couple of daughters. Dad visited them when he lived in California. I believe one might have been named Jacqueline Nix. I don't know his wife's name. He could have been a musician and/or a cook. He worked as a cook for the contractor building a permanent base at Harvey Field. This Naval Air Base developed and tested the Rocket Bomb for WW2. I know this is not much information and my spelling has never been my strong suit. If you can help me, I'm Darlene NIx at dnix@fgi.net. Thank you.
