I have an interesting story regarding Nils. I have family letters that claim Nils Olsson fathered at least one child (Nels Alfred Wicklund) out of wedlock with another woman, Maria. His son, Nels Olof Nelson (d. 1944) was the half-brother of N.A. Wicklund and they settled near one another in Roseau County, MN. It is possible that Nils fathered more of Maria's children, as they are all listed as being "oakta."
