Nelson Family of Terryville Farm, Connecticut
Inscription on back of photo reads "The only pic of the entire Nelson family" My grandmother, Lillian Carin Swanson was sent to live on this farm about 1920 when she was orphaned in New York City. Her parents,Charles and Hilda and two sisters,Ethel and Hilda died between 1918 and 1920 during the Spanish Flu epidemic. She only knew the Nelson's as Ma & Pa Nelson. She lived there until about 1925. In researching tbis family, I have found them to be Ithal(Bergstrom) Nelson, her husband, Oke Nelson and the two younger men in the back are probably their sons, Sven & Steven.
Date & Place: at Terryville Farm in Leitchfield, Connecticut USA

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
