Mr. Lichter, I am looking for any information on my Grandmother's family. She was the daughter of Peter NICOLAY, tinsmith, who according to family history emmigrated from the Trier, Germany area. Peter NICOLAY, also according to family lore, was a soldier in the Prussian Army, prior to his emmigration. My grandmother was born circa 1890, in Duluth, Minnesota. Based on her birth date, her father, Peter NICOLAY (or NICOLAI) probably emmigrated between 1880-1890. Peter NICOLAY (NICOLAI) married Anna SCHNEIDER (or SNYDER) also from the Trier area in approximately 1888, possibly in Minneapolis, MN, or in Trier. I would sincerely appreciate your checking the books you are so familiar with for the NICOLAY/NICOLAI and SCHNEIDER/SNYDER names.
