Sorry, no Nelsons.  But while we are on the subject we do have, Van Tassels,
Van Houtens,
and Van Ripers, Speers, Freidrichs, u. Stegers (Steigers?) in the family
tree.  The question is: is it possible to tell from which part of the
Nederlanden all the Vans came from...or is that just not realistic.  They
came over here in the 17. C. and civilized New Jersey as well as New
Amsterdam.  Speer was also Dutch also.  Friedrich(s) and Steger may have
been from Koeln.
Cheers,
Bill
