Notes

The obituary of Nils’ older sister Margareta indicates that he probably emigrated to the United States with his father and older brothers and may have been living in Waldeck, Saskatewan Province, Canada at the time of her death in 1922. [6]
The birth date of 28 Oct 1849, listed in [LDS-IGI-2002b] is incorrect. [2, 7]
