Surname: Carlson, Fees, Hay, McCoy, Keisling, Bhrends
-------------------------
I am trying to trace the Carlson ancestory past my great, great grandfather
Adolf L. Carlson (spelling taken off of his tombstone in Benkleman, NE).
The dates on the tombstone are 1832-1918. His wife was Lurissa Minerva
Fees. They had two natural children. A daughter who's name is said to be
Mamie, and a son, French, my great grandfather. They adopted a boy whom
they called Oscar (Pete) off of the Orphan train as it came through Nebraska.
It is said that Adolf was born in Sweden. When and where he came to the
states is unknown. He married Minerva in Iowa around 1876 according to
the Fees family tree. If anyone can help me find siblings or parents of
Adolf, I will be forever grateful!! Thank you!
