My g-g-great grandparents came to the US from Sweden and evidently both landed in Colon Nebraska where they died. I would like to confirm this. His name was Nils Sorensen and he died in Colon Jan 1888. His wife was Anna Marie and she evidently lived to age 102 and died in Colon in 1912. I would love to know where they're buried, know if there's a headstone, and confirm anything about their residency in Saunders County. Thank you!!

Looking for information on the parents of George A. Olson. 1880 census says they were Andrew Olson and Ellen______. Possibly Nilson or Nisdatter? I need the surname of George's wife, Minnie. By the census she was born in Nebraska about 1887. Anyone know her surname? Where born, Saunders Co. or elsewhere? George's sibling according to 1900 census were: Oscar, Henry, Arthur. Anyone tracing these families? George and Minnie's children according to 1910 census were: Nels Vernon, Inez Laverne, Signe Mathilda, and Eunice Delaine. Any information on these families would be helpful. Am tracing this for a good friend. Thanks in advance, Susan

This family originates with the Gilson's. I am researching descendents of George W. Gilson of Maine, married to Abigail Hopkins of Indiana/Canada. Children are: Mary J. last name unknown & descendants unknown. Isabelle/Elizabeth/Queen/Queenie McAdow/Cornwell/Munger, her descendants - Children: Earle - who moved to and died in California, and Ruth who married Arnold Koplin, that worked for the PD, and their children - Richard and Phillip. I have much ancestry information on the Gilson's - and newly discovered info on Elizabeth/Isabelle/Queen/Queenie and some on her descendants. And a lot on George's son Charles & his descendants, as I am his direct descendant. The Gilson's lived in Minnesota, traveled through Wisconsin, lived in Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois and California.
