Olaf Nelson

[Cathy Curell]

Looking for Olaf Nelson.  He may have come from Holje, Parish of Jemshog, Province of Blekinge, Sweden.  This is not documented, only hear say.  He was born May 24 1823 and Died 8/9/1907 in Savonburg Kansas USA.   He migrated to the US possibly in November of 1853 and settled in Knoxville Illinois.  His wife name was Inga and they had several children born in the US.  Hear say states he may have been Nephew of King of Sweden and fell out of grace when he married below his status.   Thank you  Cathy
