Peter Pederson Nelson wife Nettie and 8-9 Kids

 Del

Recommended Posts

My great grandfather Nels Nelson had one older half brother (Johannes or John P Nelson) two twin siblings, Ivar and Bergethe, and Peter Pederson Nelson.  All of these people were born in or around Biri, Norway, but all of them moved to USA in 1860's.  I still don't know what happened to Peter Nelson, his wife Nettie and their 8-9 children; it's almost like they all disappeared/vanished.  First of all, I don't know if the family's last name was Nelson, or Peterson.  I am trying to find out what happened to all the children of Peter and Nettie, not just when they died but some of them had to get married and have families.

1. Peter Peterson was born in Feb. 1857 in Brobakken, Segaard, Biri, Oppland, Norway and died Before 1940 in Wisconsin, USA.  He married Nettie Peterson About 1889. Nettie, daughter of John P Nelson and Gelene Johannesdatter, was born in Aug. 1871 in Norway and died After 1940 in La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA.

They did not disappear. They lived in Wisconsin, moved to North Dakota and back again to Wisconsin. You can find them in the various census records on familysearch.org. He used Peter P Nelson for most of the records.

Thank you, Anton.  The information about Peter P Nelson from 1900 Census is I discovered a couple years ago that the writer for census had numbers flipped (this happens especially when your census is done at beginning of century; in other words, a math problem.

1900 Census 

 

Peter P Nelson

 in the 1900 United States Federal Census

Name:Peter P Nelson

Age:56

Birth Date:Feb 1844

Birthplace:Norway

Home in 1900:Fidelity, Bottineau, North Dakota

 

They state that Peter P was 56 years old in 1900 and was born in 1844 wife Nettie 28 years old (28 year difference in age)

CORRECT DATA: Peter P was 44 years old in 1900 and was born in 1856 wife Nettie 28 years old (16 years difference in age)

 

Also, Nettie was her husband's half brother (John P) 's daughter, if the data is correct, so the DNA of Peter Nelson (born February 26, 1819 in Biri) is particularly strong or pronounced in this family of 8 kids.  I still have not found out where Peter and his third wife Agneta (born September 5, 1819) are buried; They are buried in either Minnesota, Wisconsin or Norway is my guess.

I assume that this is the Peter you refer to as having been born in 1819?

Yes to both of them, thank you.  I had received the Immigration information reference Port of Quebec from a Norwegian woman about a year ago, but now you have given me for first time his birth and baptism information.  Much appreciated.

Also, Anton, regarding the second new Digital Archive...the "fadder", 5 total listed after Peder Nielsen's parents names, they are all God Parents and not grandparents, right?  Gulbrand Steeg, Kari Steeg, Hendrik Grytte, Elie Grytte, Jens Hoff paa Bollerud.

Father: Niels Pedersen

Mother: Inger Olsdatter, the mother of Peder Nielsen is the only ancestor I have no information about (her parents).  I have information about Peder's father, information about Karen Jensdatter's parents, but so far no information about Inger, assuming she was born in late 1700's around Biri, Norway.  Also, 23andMe and MyHeritage say I have Finnish blood on my father's Norwegian side, so Inger Olsdatter's family may be where the Finnish connection comes in (although 23andMe and MyHeritage have been wrong before).
