Dear Jack,
My great-grandfather, James William Riley Nickel, was b. abt 1869 in IL.I recently found what I believe to be the marriage record of his father and mother, specifically Frederick R. Nickels and Nancy E. Wright who m. 24 May 1867 in Vermilion Co., IL.James W. R. returned to IN, specifically Hamilton Co. and married there.Possible relatives named Peterson.Oral family history says that Nancy was born in IN and Frederick was born in PA.I have yet to find them in the census records to confirm that, however.Nancy reportedly remarried a Harris later and she may have died in Canada while visiting relatives, but I don't have a clue about who these relatives might have been.Oral history also says that this Nickels family came from PA and moved through IN before going on to IL.However, some members of the Nickels family remained in PA.Does the name Frederick Nickels have any connection to the research you have done so far?
