Newly Discovered "Cousin" Elaine

Elaine McIver is a relative we've connected with doing genealogy. Her father was Herman Nelson. Herman's father was Alphonso Nelson. Alphonso's father was Charles Frederick Nelson who was the son of Laurs and Gedska. Through Elaine we discovered that Dr. Steve Nelson who my family knew in the Upland, California stake, is her brother. She's pictured here with her "Just Lucky I Guess" husband Walt.

We were able to connect with them as they too live in Phoenix, AZ near the Mesa Temple. Top row from left to right is Walt, Elaine, Me (holding my son Christian), Devin (my "hairy" brother). Bottom row from left to right are my sons Blake, Andy, and Tyler.
