Geschichte der Familie Nieland
Church and civil records show Nielands living in Westphalia, Germany as early as the 1500s. In America, we have traced our immigrant ancestors' footsteps from the day of their arrival through their settlement in the state of Iowa and beyond.
On these pages we share a collection of historical facts and stories that we have gathered over the years.
If you have family history information that you would be willing to share with your Nieland relatives, please contact us. We are collecting newspaper clippings, obituaries, stories, biographical information, memorabilia— anything that might be of interest to the Nieland clan.

Josef Nieland und seine Pferde
“I have the snapshot of my dad with his team of horses,Queen and Babe. They were sorrel mares and very gentle especially Queen. Denny and I would ride her and we had no saddle. Once Denny slid off right in front of her and she stopped dead in her tracks. That was in the 1930s” — Lorraine Nieland Starman
