Unknown Nelson #1
Janice Moen writes, "I am wondering if anyone can identify the picture of this young woman. Could it be the older girl shown in Unknown- Nelson #2 below. See the notes there about the Charles & Effie (Nelson) Robinson family on this page"

Unknown - Nelson #2
Janice Moen writes, "My grandfather, Nels P Nelson, born in Afton Twp in 1881, had a sister there, Effie Nelson, born there in 1875, who married Charles Robinson. From information on another photo I have received, I am quite sure the younger girl is Effie's daughter, Joyce, who later married Otto Saxhaug and lived and died in southern MN. I think the older girl could be Joyce's older sister, Marie, who married a Thompson and lived in Illinois. Marie would have been born about 1898. Joyce was born 25 March 1902.

"The Charles and Effie Robinson family was living in Afton Twp (general farm occupation) Cherokee Co in the Census of 1910. At that time they had the 2 daughters, ages 12 & 8. The 1920 Census shows them living at Windom, Cottonwood Counry, in MN. They have 2 more children, Evelyn, age 9, and Royal G, age 7. Royal was known as Roy and "Bud." I am hoping to find more information on this branch of our Nelson family."
Unknown - Nelson Family
Janice Moen writes, "This photo was among my maternal grandfather's belongings. He was born on Feb. 17, 1881, in Afton Twp, Cherokee Co, IA. He was one of the middle children in a family of 12 siblings. The photo is labeled Wilson... Cherokee, IA. We think that we see a strong family resemblance in the adults. I am guessing it might be Peter C, and Mary Nelson and Mary's mother, Sidsel (Mrs. Claus Nelson.) If anyone can identify this family, it would be much appreciated. I know that Peter C. Nelson was returned to Aurelia from northeastern Minnesota for burial there in 1925. A child, Winifred (son), is buried there as well as other family members." Click here for more
