Sandy, I could be. This is my connection to the Niehaus family. My
G...grandmother was the widow Nienhaus. She brought her son Henry with
her to Gibson county. The "n" started to disappear in the second
Indiana generation. I descend from Johanna "Jane" Maria Ruhoff who is
Henry's half-brother. There is John Nienhaus buried at St. Wendel who
I am trying place. I suppose he could be a brother to Joan Heinrich
Nienhaus
