Testimonials
Mr. Nielsen,
“Instead of being outside this evening enjoying the beautiful short Minnesota summer weather I can’t pull myself away from the computer typing all the genealogy information into my Family Tree Maker Program I received this evening. This is so interesting to me. Thanks so much for the Family report, I am very impressed with your research.”
– Bruce, Minnesota
“I received the research in the mail today. The work you did was most impressive! Thanks very much for all your help!”
– Bryan, California
“We feel we know you, although we have never met. Thank you, Boyd, for your dedicated work on my Mother’s Swedish/German line.”
-Adrienne, Utah
“I requested that Boyd Nielsen do research for me in 2009. I had located the ancestors on a ship, immigrating and landing in America. Boyd determined which was the father of our ancestor, and found the town they came from in Germany, and copied the church records of the whole family. I had named an uncle as father, and would not have been able to locate them in Europe. Boyd Nielsen got the results I wanted, and more, in a few months.”
