Census Records:?/b?

The U.S. census of 1900 shows Richard Nagel living at 900 W. 20th Street in Chicago. The family consisted of Richard, born August 1866 in Germany, married 8 years, came to the United States in 1891, naturalized; wife Adeline, born May 1868 in Germany, came to the U.S. in 1892, mother of 5 children; daughter Lizzie, born December 1893 in Illinois; daughter Martha, born August 1895; daughter Helena, born July 1896; son Walter, born May 1897; and son Will(?), born January 1900.

The U.S. census of 1910 shows the same family living at 2838 S. 42 Court (later renamed Tripp Avenue) in Chicago. This census shows Richard came to the U.S. in 1889, a finisher in a piano factory, owning his own home. Children are Lizzie, Martha, Helen, Walter, and Willie, aged 18, 16, 14, 12, and 10.

The census of 1920 shows the family living at 2838 S. Tripp in Chicago. Family members are Richard 53, Adeline 51, and Walter 21. Richard came to the U.S. in 1890 and was a finisher in a piano factory.

The census of 1920 also shows Edgar Samuelson, age 29, born in Illinois, parents from Sweden; wife Martha, 25, born in Illinois, parents from Germany; son Edgar, age 6/12, born in Illinois; and brother-in-law William Nagel, 20, born in Illinois, parents from Germany, working as a stock keeper in a carburetor company. This family was living at 4148 W. 21st Place in Chicago.

The census of 1930 shows Richard Nagel, age 65; wife Adeline, age 62, living at 2838 Tripp Avenue in Chicago. He was still working as a finisher in a piano factory. He came to the U.S. in 1898 [sic] and she in 1901; both naturalized citizens.

The census of 1930 shows the Samuelson family, again composed of Edgar R., wife Martha, son Edgar R., Jr., and brother-in-law William T. Nagel living at 1434 N. Waller Ave. in Chicago. It shows William Nagel as married, but this is probably in error, since no wife is shown, and the age at first marriage is blank.

The census of 1940 shows Richard Nagel, 74, occupation of piano finisher; wife Adeline, 71; at 2638 [sic] S. Tripp Avenue in Chicago. Also living at this address was Helen Heyden, 56, widow; her son Ervin, 26, born in Illinois, a cabinet maker.

Notes:

Edward Nagel's death certificate lists his parents as "Carl Nagel" and "Caroline unknown". His brother Richard Nagel's death record shows his parents as "August Nagel" and "Caroline Heinz", but another source gives them as "Carl Nagel" and "Caroline Heinz". The record showing August Nagel may be in error, but to avoid losing this bit of information, I have listed the father as "Carl August Nagel".

Notes:

Information on Johan Nagel, his wife, their son Adolph, and Adolph's descendants was provided by Bonnie Galvin, a descendant of Adolph. I have tentatively placed the other children, Carl, Ludwig, and Augusta, into this family based solely on DNA matching.

Bonnie Galvin (descendant of Adolph) and I (descendant of Carl) have a DNA match of 57 centimorgans, which is typical for 3rd cousins.

Frank Keller, a descendant of Augusta Nagel (Keller), matches my DNA with 27.3 centimorgans, typical for 4th cousins. From this, we presume that Augusta Nagel was either a sister of Carl Nagel, or his daughter by an early marriage, or a niece, or cousin.

Heidi Nagel, a descendant of Ludwig, matches my DNA with 26.3 centimorgans.

Notes:

Carl Heinz was listed as a shoemaker in the birth record of his son Heinrich.

I have placed Caroline Heinz in this family because my grandmother Freda Swanson said that her parents were first cousins. The only way that Edward Nagel and Mathilda Heinz could have been first cousins would be if Edward's mother Caroline Heinz were the sister of Mathilda's father Heinrich Heinz. I have found no other evidence to prove that Caroline was the daughter of Carl Heinz and Constantia Labuhn, except that she was born in the same village as Heinrich and Gustaph Heinz.

Carl married Constantia Labuhn Bef 1834. Constantia died Bef 1882. [Group Sheet]
