I'm sorry, but I don't have any info on your line of Albers; I have had a difficult time finding anything on mine also.They were in Adams Co. IL, then moved to NE when my grandfather, Herman and his sister Meta were teenagers according to family lore.By that time, around 1875, their father, Nikolas, was dead, and their mother Anna moved there because there were more family in NE. They had an older brother, William, (we think that's the right name) who died during the Civil War, he was fighting on the Union side. The names are so often repeated in German families, it's hard to sort them out; My grandfather, Herman married Caroline Balke, whose Parents came from MO to NE.Good luck in your search, I will keep your info and if I find anything on your line, I will let you know.Janna
