WELCOME INTRODUCTION AND INDEX

Welcome to YOUR Nelson family website. This is a history of the Bernhardt Luvig Nelson and Jennie Anderson Nelson lineage that began with their wedding on April 16, 1921 in Brooklyn, NY. (The photo above was taken at Bernie and Jennie's 50th wedding anniversary). It is also a living journal for those of us who are the beneficiaries of their love, either as direct descendants or through marriage, irrespective of how many generations removed we may be. Though life’s experiences may cause the families to be spread far and wide, it is anticipated that this website can close the gap of time and distance to remind us of our common bond as each of us wends our way back home to our ultimate roots with our Creator.
