I think my Nelson search is going to be hard. I just received Rosa [Nelson] Newman's death certificate. And it is my G-Grandma for sure. I jumped all over the place for joy. The certificate says her name is Rozetta Newman. She was married to David W. Newman. She was born in 1960 and it says in Scioto County. Yet another place for her birth. She died in 1936 and is buried in Sandy Springs Cemetery, Adams County.I know this is her because her daughter and also my great aunt Grace [Newman] Webb signed her informant. Now the good news, I have her parents...Her father is Arthur Nelson and her mother Elizabeth Freeland. Now the bad news...I can't find these people in any census. Nor can I find Lewis Finley her brother in the 1870 census or Rosa. So here I go again. Lewis named one of his sons Arthur Wayne Nelson. Arthur for his father and Wayne for Rosa's husband, my g-grandfather maybe. I hope we find these families are related so it might help us. In 1880 your John and my Rosa were in Green Township at the same time maybe they were brother and sister. Well let me know what you think. Your truly, Brenda Moss
