Looking for...Descendants of Nicholas Numerick

I would like to complete this line of the family. The information I have shows Nicholas (son of Ludwig, grandson of Anton) with two marriages (Stella and Mable) with one son from Mable (Samuel Sommers Numerick) and three children with Stella (Ronald, Helen, and Louis). I have virtually no information on any of these off-spring (like dates/locations of birth, marriage, spouse names, children, etc). I have recently established contact with Ronald Numerick so I am hoping he can help. If anyone else has information please comment or send me an email.

Places

We know that many Numrichs who came to America in the late 19th Century/early 20th Century came from an area that is now part of Poland, called Padew.

The region in which Padew is found is called Mielec County.

Our family line prior to Padew goes back into primarily the state of Hesse in Germany.

But what I'd like to know is if our family originally came from a town called Nümbrecht, Germany. It is not too far from known locations of Numrichs, and it seems to me that our family name could be derived from the town in which they lived.

Thoughts anyone?
