Seeking NIHEN connections - any spelling of surname

JoeNihen — 2010-08-03 14:57:26Z

I'm searching for information and links to the NIHEN/NIHAN family of St. Catharines, Buffalo, and Grantham. My own story begins with one John NIHEN (b. Jan. 1843 Ireland, father's name Daniel) who emigrated to the coal fields of Northeast Pennsylvania via Wales (two daughters born there) by 1869. I'm trying to find siblings of John in order that I might connect to this host of NIHEN/NIHANs found in various locales. Help will be appreciated. Thanks. Joe Nihen

Hello Joe, You may want to try the name Nyhan. My grandfather was John Nyhan(changed to Nihan when he came
to the US). His father was William Nyhan, his father was
James Nyhan. James Nyhan had several sons, one was John
b. 1850. These don't match your Nihan. Try mcronin111@yahoo.com or www.geocities.com/mcronin111
