Welcome!

Here I will present the information I have about the family of my great-grandmother Kristine Benedikte Eriksdatter. She was married to Ole Nilsen, so since this is the genealogy cite for my maternal grandmother, it will be called Nilsen.

The family history of my great-great grandfather - Erik Nilsen - is the reason I start this cite. I guess his patronymic name was the reason why the oldest one of his children used Nilsen as a family name, while the youngest - Soren - used Eriksen or Erickson after his father's first name.

So, this is a cite for information about Erik Nilsen (1812-1891), his wife "Kjerstine" (1839-1910) and their ten children:

Nils Chrisitan, born July 22^nd 1858, lived in the USA, one daughter: Anna Marie Johnson

Johan Adolph, born August 17th 1860, lived in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Married and had many children

Conrad Bertinus, born June 16^th 1862

Kristine Benedikte, born December 15th 1863

Anton Marius, born August 2nd1865

Carl, born February 24th 1868
