By the time of the 1834 census, Nikolaus' father had passed away, but his widow was still living. She was named Anna Margaretha, while Nikolaus' mother, gleaned from the 1798 census was named Eva Maria. Ergo, Eva Maria passed away before 1834. Nikolaus is their only child documented in a census record. If Eva Maria and Michael Rollman had other children, they were probably females who were married and living in other households by 1834. Nikolaus' step-mother Anna Margaretha became the head of the household that included Nikolaus, his wife and children, and Nikolaus' half-niece, the daughter of his half-brother Heinrich Volmer who died in 1828.
