Nelson Ned
Ned married twice, and had three children with his second wife, María Aparecida. All three of his children developed dwarfism: Nelson Ned Junior (1.08 m [42.5 inches]), a musician now living in Mexico; Monalisa Ned d'Ávila, a doctor, and Ana Verónica Ned Pinto (90 cm [35.5 inches]), a singer and acrobat.
Edward P. Ney
In June 1942, after graduating with a B.S. degree in physics, Ney married June Felsing. They had four children: Judy, John, Arthur, and William. That year, Ney took his bride and two of Nier's mass spectrographs to Charlottesville, Virginia, where he began graduate studies with Jesse Beams at the University of Virginia. Ney brought experience and equipment that contributed significantly to Beams's wartime project to develop gas centrifuges for separation of uranium isotopes.
