Nels (Nils) was born in Sweden and he and his family were living in Fall City in 1889. His wife Maggie was born in Michigan and was his second wife. Five of his children (Andrew, Chestie, Nils, Tilda and Nellie) that were living with them then were all born in Sweden too. His daughter, Anna (Nilsdotter/Blomstrand) Hanson was living in Michigan at the time of his death. All of his children were born to him and his first wife, Johanna (Andersdotter) Bloomstrand. His first wife, Johanna, immigrated with Nils and his family to Allegan, MI. It is unclear as to when/where Johanna died.

*Note: His daughter Kersti ("Chestie") married a man named Kester Stark at the age of 14/15 years old -- possibly related to the Taylor Starks that killed Nils.
