I noticed that this was posted a long time ago but I am very interested in comparing any information anyone has on this topic.
My grandfather's name was Nels Nelson, born approx. 1911, m. Concordia Herrmann and resided in their later years in Beloit, Wi..
They had two children.Roger (my father) and Linda.
I have had almost no luck concerning my heritage past that point.I have several possibilities including the name Elias Nelson as Nels's father and Elias's father would have been Andrew Nelson?
I did get in contact with one relative that let me know of a feud amongst the family dating way too far back to know leading most blood relatives to change names to Ericson/Erickson/Amundson/Amundsen/Secco.....She said she had never actually heard from an actual surname "Nelson" relative and was surprised I even found the connection.
Again, here I found more connections.My grandmother and then my parents took care of someone they called "Tillie" when I was very young.She was quite old and frail by then.
Other than that connection I have never met any Nelson blood relatives.The names you mention for marriages matches a lot of what I have for notes of possibilities.
I would love to compare anything anyone has found.
Thank You.
