History of the Nolan and Miller families from their British origins in the 1500's through their 20th Century descendants in America, with focus on the ancestors, descendants and allied families of Lewis Elmer Nolan (1870-1939) and his wife, Bertha Orpha Miller (d. 1959). Lewis's grandparents left Ballinasloe (Ireland) and settled in New Jersey in 1843, and then in Norwalk (Wisconsin). Their youngest son Lewis married Bertha Orpha Miller, the descendant of the British immigrant Obadiah Miller (b. 1645). Lewis and Bertha married in 1900 in Wisconsin. From the 1600-1800's, other Nolans, Millers, and other allied families lived in: Canada, Connecticut, Illinois, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. Some later families also moved to California, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, and elsewhere.
