Jeg har fått en henvendelse fra USA - Barbars Wilson Krause - som søker opphavet til ovennevnte - kan noen hjelpe?. Her gjengis hennes forespørsel:

I have a question for you would it be possible you might could help me with my husband, great grandfather, William A. Nelson. All we know he was born in Norway it shows that on his tombstone.

William A. Nelson was born 1 Jan 1841 in Norway. His father was Nels. Nelson and mother Christeeneth "Chris" unknown. The parents name was obtained from William A. Nelson's death certificate.

Notes below:

1861 Cornwall, Stormont County, Ontario Canada census list William Nelson age 20, occupation a Sailor, born in Norway.

1871 Cornwall District (072) Sub-district: Osnabruck (A), Division 1, Page 48, Ontario Canada census list William Nelson, age 29, occupation Sailor, born in Norway and a Catholic, Louis a Nelson, wife, age 25, born in Ontario Canada, Chisteueth Nelson, female age 9, female, Adeline Nelson, female, age 7, Ester Nelson, female age 2, Edmund Nelson, male, age 7/12, all children born in Cornwall, Stormont County, Ontario Canada. 1871 census report that William could not write.

The 1880 federal census first ward city of Port Huron, St. Clair, Michigan, page 28, 15 June 1880, dwelling #254 Butler Street, family #266 list William Nelson, white, male, age 49, married, sailor, born in Norway, parents born in Norway; Louisa Nelson, white, female, age 47, wife, married, born in Canada, parents born in Canada; Addie Nelson, white, female, age 16, daughter, single, born in Canada, father born in Norway, mother born in Canada; Esther Nelson, white, female, age 10, daughter, single born in Canada, father born in Norway , mother born in Canada; Edmund Nelson, white, male, age 9, son, single, born in Canada, father born in Norway, mother born in Canada; Susan Nelson, white, female, age 7, daughter, single, born in Canada, father born in Norway, mother born in Canada; James Nelson, white, male, age 5, son, single, born in Canada, father born in Norway, and mother born in Canada; Robert Nelson, white, male, age 2, son, single, born in Canada, father born in Norway, mother born in Canada; Louisa Nelson, white, female, age 1, daughter, single born in Canada, father born in Norway and mother born in Canada. William's death certificate on file. Record #3-147 St. Clair County, Michigan. 1880 federal St. Clair, Michigan census shows age 49, therefore, born 1831. William's death certificate shows age at death 56 years 8 months 18 days. Date of death 18 September 1897, therefore born 1 January 1841???

William A. Nelson married Louisa Caroline Price 20 Jan 1861 in Cornwall, Stormont, Ontario, Canada, St. Columban's Catholic Church

William A. Nelson died 18 Sep 1897 in Port Huron, St. Clair, Michigan. He was buried on 21 Sep 1897 in Port Huron, St. Clair, Michigan in the Mount Hope Cemetery.

Thanks so much again for all your help with my Solem families. I don't know if you can find out anything, but thought of you since you can speak Norwegian.

I will look forward to hearing from you.
