    1. [NEBRRoots-L] Searching for lost relatives
    2. Kjell Nilsson
    3. Three brothers of my paternal grandfather emigrated from Sweden to Nebraska late last century. Here are the details: Three sons of Carl Nilsson and Sofia Christoffersdotter emigrated to the United States in the late 1800s. Their names were: 1. CARL FREDRIK NILSSON, born April 25, 1870. Emigrated in 1885 with Wahoo, NE as destination. Not heard from. 2. FILIP LEONARD NILSSON, born December 11, 1871. Emigrated in 1889 with Wahoo, NE as destination. He stayed in touch with his parents and visited Sweden several times. He settled in Petaluma, where he died in the early 1950s. He had no children of his own. 3. ERIK HARALD NILSSON, born April 10, 1880. Emigrated in1898 with Wahoo as destination. He also wrote letters home. He settled in Omaha, NE, where he married Beatrice Christ. They had a son, born in March 1913(?). They still lived in Omaha 1925. If somebody has any information regarding them, I would be very appreciative to hear from you. I would also appreciate help in where to turn to find them. They do not appear in any of the federal censuses. Was there any Nebraska or Saunders County census late last or early this century? Any help will be appreciated. Best regards, Kjell Nilsson Palo Alto, CA
