    Klaas Peters' parents are given as Johann Peters (1 Jan 1750-4 May 1834) and Helena Neufeld, apparently based on Chronicles and Genealogy of Abram Edmund Klassen Family by Isaac P. Klassen, David Friesen and Helena Braun. Schapansky, in The Old Colony (Chortitza) of Russia (p. 307), cites the Chronicles and states "The reference to a Johann Peters who married Helena Neufeld (b. 1771) appears to refer to Johann Peters junior."

    There appears to be no evidence for which of Johann Peters' first two wives was the mother of Nicklas. Since there is a gap of about 7 years between the birth of Nicklas and his half-sister Maria, and it is unlikely that Johann would have remained unmarried for long after the death of his second wife Helena, it is possible that Helena was unable to have children (alternately, all her children died before the 1801 census). Thus, it is reasonable to place Nicklas as the son of Johann's first wife, Elizabeth.
