Comments on the site identification

  • Description in MINOBRAS, p. 40, mentions Nelson in general terms along with Helmer, Sisson, and Heetland. These 4 properties are in Secs. 7, 17, 18. The other A.R. Nelson property, 10018990, (also called Nelson Property or just Nelson) is in Sec. 29, roughly 2 miles farther south. For now, these two records should remain distinct unless someone has evidence that they are the same.
