About Dan Nelson
Since I was a young boy, I always found it fascinating to hear stories about my ancestors. I would listen to my grandparents and great uncles and aunts tell stories of the past. I inherited a love for genealogy ancestry from my mother, who began researching our family’s history after retiring in the late 1980s. In the early 1990s, I took up where my mom left off in her research. Due to the traveling nature of my career, I was able to fill in more of the family tree through letter writing, phone calls, and visits to libraries, historical societies, and family members long before the internet came along. Today these research techniques are still relevant, but digital resources have greatly enhanced the Genealogist’s tools. I am fortunate to have pursued genealogy at an earlier age when the story-holders could still explain their history. Since then, many have passed away, and their stories are lost or diminished, of fact. Let Dancestors help you get the real stories now!
