Re: Isn't having two with the same name great??YU P!

[Guest guest]

Ha Ha you guys are making me laugh. My married last name is Nelsen

spelled w/ an E N not an O N. So Everyone spells is nelson and when I

correct them they say, oh, so it's not nelson it's nielsen. I say no,

it's nelsen spelled w/ an E N. Husband's great grandpa came from

Denmark. I've heard it used to be Nielsen but people in America

spelled it wrong so they changed it to Nelsen which obviously didn't

do any good :)I don't even correct them anymore unless it's

important.
