Looking for Paul Nelson born 22 august 1824 in Venestad no 16, Träne parish, Sweden and his wife Anna Nilsdotter born 27 februari 1827 in Knutstorp, Djurröds parish Sweden. She was the sister to Nils Linderblad/Linderblood and emigrated the same year, 1852, as him. Also Paul Nelson emigrated this year.
I have found a matching couple in Familysearch. They lived in Arispie.
In a letter Paul Nelson has written home to Sweden 1861 his address is Princeton. He mentions his daughters (at least 2). He also talks alot about his farm and that he had sold horses to the army.
Paul´s brother Anders/Andrew born 14 may 1834 also emigrated but i don´t know where he settled. According to the letter Anders lived a shortwhile with his brother but the Paul got him a job somewhere and he moved.
Is there anyway to check that the couple in Arispie IS the ones i´m looking for?
Are there any way to find out where both this people and the Linderblood family is buried?

Anna,
Arispie and Princeton are in Bureau Co. We cover a small portion of Bureau Co. See my message to Debbie Clark, re: Ottsville Cemetery, Bureau Co. (Aug. 15, 2005). Also check the web sites I listed in response to your Linderblood message. Maybe you will "luck out" and a descendant will shag this message on "Google"! (smile)
See our map for its proximity to our area - we cover the
Fairfield/Greenville areas.
