Notes:

Nel's gravestone says he died on June 16, 1905? He came to Saunders County in the spring of 1869.

Nels's brother is Andreas Eliason.

Based on emigration records, it seems that Nils made a trip back to Sweden and his home area in 1881. Perhaps he was "recruiting" new emigrants. In the group of people from around Finja that sailed with him back to America in March, 1881, was Carolina Nilsdotter, whom he married in May, and a nephew.
