Hello,
I hope you receive this message.I am the great-granddaughter of Peter A. Nichter (eldest of the family).If you do not already have the info here it is:Peter and your grandfather Frank, of course, are the sons of Michael George and Mary M "Lena" Dirk Nichter.Michael was the second child and only son of Christian Nichter (1 March 1799 in Germany to 30 June 1877 in N Vernon, Jennings, IN. and Christina Bonnewitz Nichter (4 April 1803 in Germany to 28 October 1881 in Jennings Co, IN).Christina's parents were Jacob and Christina Heinzer Bonnewitz.I have a photo of Michael & Mary's gravesite in Seymour, their death certificates, a photo of Michael (or George as he evidently called himself) in his 70's or 80's, and a family portrait taken around 1890.The family picture is a copy that Frank's daughter, Ruby Torborg has hanging on her wall.I was lucky enough to meet this delightful lady a few years ago.If you would like any or all photos, obits, etc that I have I would be very pleased to share them with you-just contact me at the email address below.
Have a good week and I hope to hear from you.
Sincerely,
Mary Jane Love
