Jim and Margaret Nielsen Family Reunion

Barbara is visiting and we have been talking about the family reunion. We came up with more questions than answers. Please go to the survey below to give us your opinions about the upcoming family reunion. Then maybe some decisions can be made about it.

Thanks,

Sandy

PS - I haven't used this service before... I hope it works out... If you have to sign in or create an account or anything like that then forget it and I'll find another avenue to survey with. It wasn't clear about that in the "fine print."

Lost Nielsen Family Photo (Virginia)

Here are 2 new photos I received from my cousin Connie. Her dad Conway (one of Poppop's brothers)had these in his files. Along with several other family members.

The jury is still out on when this photo was taken. Either late 1951 or early 1952.


The big group photo includes my grandparents Mima/Niels, 2 of the triplets - Alan/Walter, Midge in front by Barbara,Ken/Shirley, Conway/Marie, Ab (father of Midge) and of course Dad (Jim) and us 3 girls!
