Hi !
I am looking for a man, Mr. Jonas Nelson (Nilsson), born 25th March 1809, Rydaholm, Kronobergs parish, Sweden. He emigrated to N. America in 1879, 70 years old! to be with his sons (I think):
Nils Petter, born 10th March, 1844, emigrated in 1869
Carl Gustaf, born 14th of June, 1848, emigrated in 1868
Anders Johan, born 13th of February 1852, emigrated in 1870
Johannes, born 25th of April 1855, emigrated also in 1870.
Jonas address in the US: Jonas Nelson, Rockport, Rooks County, Kansas, North America
Does this sound familiar to anyone?? Jonas was my great-great grandfather's brother.
Thanks !
Marianne
