My great, great grandparents came from sweeden named Nilsson who changed their name to Nelson. They lived in Chicago. My great, great grandfather was Carl Johan Nilsson, born 1861. He had a brother, Anders Ludvig Nilsson who was born in 1863. Does this match up with your findings? Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
