I have been researching my family tree, and my Grandmother gave me a small book titled, "A Brief History of The Family of John Frederick and Margaret M. Nordeck". They are my great-great-great grandparents. He was the first Nodeck to settle in West Virginia. My mother and Grandmother went to West Virginia this past summer to visit the Farm that J.F. Nordeck built. Wish I could have gone too.
