Welcome to Nelson Roots

This blog will be dedicated to the collection and dispersment of information relating to the geneology of the Jay L and Afton May Nelson Family. All contributors are welcome. Our mission is to find and publish accurate information relating to our ancestory. We hope that we can collect here pictures, records of births, deaths, marriages, and confirmations, as well as other verifiable evidence of our forebearers.


Sincerely,
R. Scott and Matthew R. Nelson
Class of Craig and Bev

Jay L Nelson in pictures and newspaper articles

 The above and below pictures/articles are taken from a scrapbook that was kept by Jay's mom and is in the possession of Bruce Nelson.  He showed the scrapbook to me over our family trip to Utah in October of 2013 and I took these pictures from that scrapbook.  Most have an explanation of the pictures.
