Yes, this sounds like my Charles. Thank you so much for the look up. Mary's real name was Maria Elisabeth (I think) but she went by Mary on every record I can find. No one knows for sure what her maiden name was. There are several that it could be: NIKLES, NIKEL, NIKELS, NICLOES. So she may have used her maiden name. Thank you so much for your help. ~Dee~ ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
