In Response To: looking for realatives (Sharon Ross)

1925 Iowa State census gives parent info.

1925 Iowa State census Newell, Buena Vista, Iowa
Rogers, John J, Sr., head, 35,
Hannah, 32, wife,
Iris, dau, 12
Zora, dau, 11
Richard N, son 9,
Donald J, son, 9
Dean D, son, 7,
John J, Jr, son, 2

Hannah's paretns are listed as Jens Nelson, dcd, b. Denmark and Anna J Christensen, 73, b. Denmark, who were married in Illinois.

The same parents are listed for a Julia Larsen, wife of OW Larson,
B W Larson 39
Julia Larsen 34
Norina Larsen 4
Magel Larsen 2
Lorane Larsen 1

1920 census Newell, Buena Vista, Iowa
Larson, Olrich W, head, 34, IA Den Den, farmer
Julia, 29, IA Den Den
no children.

1910 census Coon, Buena Vista, Iowa gives the following ages.
Jens, 50,
Anna, 45,
Julia, 20,
Henry 18,
Hannah, 17
Lillie 11

WWI draft registration
Henry Nelson, b. August 18, 1892, Latimer, Iowa, living and working in Newell, Buena Vista, Iowa as a carpenter.

1895 census has the family in Marion township, Franklin County, Iowa where the town of Latimer is located
The census listing for that year is a transcription not an image, so two families are mixed, but there are the following children, Julia, 4, Henry, 3, Hanna, 1,

I would suggest that you check the Franklin County Recorder's office for their birth records, rather than Buena Vista County.

1920 census Newell, Buena Vista, Iowa
Nelson, Henry, 28, IA Den Den, Carpenter
Emma B, wife, 28, IA Den Den

1920 census Newell, Buena Vista, Iowa
Nelson, Jens, 71, to US 1870, naturalized in 1882, Den
Anna, wife, 66, to US 18??, naturalized in 1882, Den Den Den

1885 Iowa State Census, Marion, Franklin, IA
Nelson, Jens, 31, farmer, b. Den
Anna, 28, Den
Cassie, 2, IL
female infant, 0, b. Franklin County

It appears Lillie married or died after 1915.

I'm not related.
