David T. and Esther Torrison Nelson and Their Ancestors 

Notes, Pictures, and Other Materials

Over the years, material on the history of David T. and Esther Nelson and their ancestors has been collected and organized by their son, John P. Nelson. This site serves as a portal to many of those documents. 

It is organized by generations, beginning with the respective grandparents of David and Esther who all emigrated from Norway in the mid nineteenth century (material not always available for both paternal and maternal ancestors). The raw documents can be accessed by clicking on "Download" on the left menu.

This site is not meant to be an exhaustive history but rather of repository for documents. If you have questions or other material you wish to add, please contact John or email dtnhistory@gmail.com
