I am looking for any information related to this family. I know very little, but this is what I know...
Oscar was born in Sweden Oskar N? [b.11/2/1894 d.2/11/1990] and died in McKeesport PA. His name has been "Americanized". He was married to Jessie ? and had about 8 children one of which was my father, Charles Frederick Nissen [b.9/30/1931]. He had a falling out with his father at an early age and moved to the US. He likely served in the US military to become a citizen. His mother helped to support the family through the depression by sending money and family lore has his parents as minor aristocrats. The families home in Sweden was taken over by the Swedish government when Oscar refused to signoff on it's sale sometime around 1975. Any information would be appreciated.
thanks,
chuck
