Hello, Sat. Does anyone know how I could contact any of the family of Charles F. NIx of Dixon?? I believe he is related to a Jacob Nix that was the older brother of my great grandfather, John Baptist Nix. They came from Germany after the Civil War and settled near Wendelin, IL. I believe, Charles was the son of John Bernard Nix and the grandson of Jacob Nix.
