Hi! Welcome to the site. Hopefully you're here because you need information or you have information on my GGG-Grandparents, Nels Nelson and his wife Hedvig Sandstrom. They and their families were Swedish immigrants in the second half of the 19th century who settled in the little, central Kansas town of Lindsborg.

I've recently published the book, The Families of Nels Peter Nelson and Hedvig Augusta Sandstrom and included everything I learned while researching them. I have information on their parents, children, and siblings' families. But I'm still looking for information. If you can help with any of the names, here, please
contact me.

I have two goals with this genealogy project:

• to find other families that are descended from my Swedish ancestors

I've met the first goal. Help me with the second!
