INTRODUCTION

The descendants of Thomas Nelson (1615-1648) of Rowley Yorkshire and Rowley Mass., are given in a family history written by a descendant in 1868. One of Thomas Nelson's descendants, Marion Carr Hussey, married William Olsen Trenholm of New Brunswick, Canada, in 1916. Her ancestors and cousins are included in this database which contains about 2,120 individuals born before 1911.

The index contains about 2,120 people, but **ONLY THOSE PEOPLE BORN BEFORE 1911**. These people are listed in an alphabetical index and displayed in a linked tree format. Source references are given as links beside some of the information in the family tree. For convenience, details of the longer references are also shown in a separate Bibliography. In the source reference file attached to the Family Tree, these references are replaced by a shorter description, beginning with: [Cem.] for Cemetery; [Census] for Census; [Coll.] for other large collections; [FBible] for Family Bible; [FGEN] for Family Genealogy; [I] for information from an individual; [LHG] for Local History & Genealogy; [VS] for Vital Statistics. A link to the Bibliography appears near the end of this page.
