Posted on: McCurtain County, Ok Query Forum Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ok/McCurtain/11379 Surname: Nelson ------------------------- Dear Cousin Liz, Hello my name is Chris Nelson I live in Louisiana, I'm so happy to finally meet someone from this line. Your husband James's father David Benjamin Nelson and my great grandfather Charles A. Nelson are 1/2 brothers through their father Hugh Lawson Nelson. I've been trying for almost a year to reach someone from your family. I found David's name in findagrave.com and left a message and flowers. We didn't know anything at all about the family except for Charles,his wife Mayme and their son Clyde who is my grandfather, Until I started our family tree and have found so many it's unbelieveable. But my grandmother was a bitter woman and didn't tell my father hardly anything about his fathers side of the family and he was in the service and didn't take the time to find any of them till he married my mother who comes from a large family but by then it was to late everyone had died. I acquired from oklahoma Hugh's obit which helped me greatly in my search for family,and I would like for you to e-mail me so that I could get some information from you Birthdates, Names,and so forth. I have to go for now but Please get intouch with me soon. Chris Nelson
