Surnames: Thorson, Youngdahl Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4g.2ADE/1727 Message Board Post: On the worldconnect site I found a descendent list for Nels S. Youngdahl. The database is titled USgenWeb Knox County, IL, Genealogy, with contact person Bob Miller. The info was compiled from published Knox County histories and records. My question is; is there a published story about the Nels Youngdahl family? Nels came to America in 1857 and settled first in Niccolet Co., MN. He married Bengta Goransdotter, whose sister Anna had married Nels Thorson. Both families moved out of MN after the 1862 Indian uprising. Nels T lived in Princeton, IL for a few years. I assume Nels Y moved to Galesburg. I would like to reestablish the connection between these two families.
