Issac Baerg is the third man to the right, back row. This was part of a larger picture of some kind of gathering. Anyone know where it was taken?

Picture 6 looks like the same man a picture 3. It looks like a Russian army uniform.
Some of the Nikkel or Martens family did serve.
The woman in #5 is the same person as the girl next to Isaac Baerg in grp1.jpg photo 12.

I have a few photos of Evangline Nikkel from this line. My fiance is her grand daughter on her mother's side. Let me know if interested.

Hi Trey,

Thanks for the offer. Yes I would like the pictures. I checked the Grandma 4 program which has over 600,000 Mennonite ancestors and decendants listed. I see the tie in to my wife's family, three Benjamin Nikkels back, to the one who lived from 1813 to 1913. Let's get in contact by regular email. I'm not sure how we do that without posting our email address for all to see?

my email is trey@moranonline.com

I have a new internet provider and moved the pictures to this page.

I'm not sure if you are still around, but I am related to the Nikkel family that settled in Kansas. I have a book on some of the family and lines. Let me know if I can help add to your information and would love you to share what you might have.

Thank you!
