I sure hope that I can answer some questions. My name is Verl Matthews and Harvey is my
cousin. His father was Alfred Broder Nahnsen who married Lillian An Fromm on 16 April
1932. Alfred's father was Nicolaus Nahnsen who married Frieda Mary Louise Meyer on 24
September 1902. Nicolas Nahnsen's father was Claus Nahnsen who had 16 children with
two wives. His first wife was Brogeda Nammany who died shortly after giving birth to her
eighth child Bennhart. This was Nicolas Nahnsens mother. I have not been able to find
much information on her. But Claus Nahnsen 's father was Broder Nahnsen and His
mother was Agatha Diersen. When Claus Nahnsen came from Schleswig Holstein region of
Germany, he brought his brothers Ingwer, Carsen his sister Mrs. August Carstenssen and his
mother Agatha Diersen as his father died in Germany. Frieda's father was J. H.
William Meyer who married Maria Dorothea Heinz in 1873. My mother was Florence Nahnsen
Matthew Manning and she was Uncle Al!
fred's sister. I haven't seen Harvey since 1970 and I had come back from my
second tour in Vietnam as a Navy Corspman with the Marine Corps. I haven't seen
Arlene since I joined the Navy in 1965. If you have anymore questions please contact me,
I am now retired from the Navy and last April I retired from the Civil Service at the
Naval Hospital Camp Lejeune.
