My ancestor's were Nelson's. They were from the juneau and waupaca area. My gr/grandfather was Frank Nelson and he married Mary(Jensen)Nelson. They had eight children as follows Herman,Alfred,Oscar(my grandfather),Walter,Sarah,Anna,and Deanna & Mayme they were twins. I have been struggling with the Nelson's do you have any of them on your lists. I know Herman lived in Necedah in 1956 when my grandfather passed away, I have the paper with his obit from Mellen,Wis. listing Herman living in Juneau,Co. and his wife then. And Alfred lived in Portage,Co. at the time. All the others were passed away by then. Can you help me?? Write back when you have time. Thanks Julie Brewer in alabama
