Beth, In the 1900 Census for Jeannette, Westmoreland Co., Pa., there is an Adolph Nelson living on 2nd Street. His family appears as follows: Nelson, Adolph b. Dec. 1851, b. Sweden Dairyman Josephine b. Sept. 1854 b. Sweden Jennie b. Aug. 1876 b. Sweden Augusta b. May 1880 b. Sweden Algrt ? (hard to read) b. May 1883 b. Sweden Gus b. Nov. 1884 b. Sweden Charles b. Mar. 1887 b. Sweden Julia b. Apr. 1892 (first child born in Pa) Mary b. Mar. 1893 b. Pa. Oscar b. May 1895 b. Pa. George D. b. July 1898 b. Pa. Their immigration years were listed as follows: Adolph 1888 Josephine 1890 Jennie 1892 Augusta 1890 Algrt? 1892 Gus 1892 Charles 1892 In St. Clair Cemetery, Hempfield Twp., Westmoreland County the following graves appear: Nelson, John A. (this has to be John Adolph) 1851-1914 Josephine 1854-1908 Augusta P. 1880-1963 Charles J. 1887-1960 U.S.N. Mary J. 1893-1916 In the 1910 census the family was living in 3rd Ward Greensburg, Pa. (That census info is messed up on Ancestry. When trying to download the images they send you to another city) In 1920 John A. (Adolf) and Josephine are deceased, but their daughter Augusta is still living in 3rd Ward Greensburg. The household appears as follows: Talbot Ave. 128-205-334-Nelson, Augusta 38 Anderson, C.A. Brother in law 31 Retail Grocery Merchant Anderson, S. A... Sister 28 Anderson, George Nephew 1 6/12 Nelson, George Brother 21 I believe some of this 1920 census is incorrect. Because also in St. Clair Cemetery, Hempfield Twp. are buried: Anderson, Carl 1888-1976 Julia N. 1891-1965 Richard Carl July 29, 1917-July 30, 1917 George H. 1919-1973 I think on the 1920 census the wife should have been J. N. Hope this helps!
