Welcome to Nelson Family Village. This site holds the history of our family, gathered and cared for over many years of research.
I’m starting with John Lemon Nelson and Dolly McNeil, my paternal great-grandparents, and their descendants.
John Lemon Nelson, 1830-1921 (son of John Nelson and Patsy Dulany) and Dolly
McNeill
The family tree includes extensive information about John Lemon Nelson, and Dolly McNeill, because that is the branch that settled in Big Rock, Pulaski, Arkansas,known as Little Maumelle or “The Bottoms”.
Because more than 30 descendants of John Lemon Nelson and Dolly tested, we have more information on this branch of the family than any other child of John Nelson and Patsy Dulaney.
Family Tree
The family tree is a work in progress, and has information on the other eight children of John Nelson and Patsy Dulaney. Research is ongoing and I will make updates when
significant findings are documented.
DNA Testing
As more family members test, the integrity of our research is strengthen. Ancestry.com
is the largest, and most popular testing service, and most of our matches and research
are based on content from Ancestry.com.
If you would like advice on dna testing, research, or other genealogical information, send me an email: dianetrotter@gmail.com.
