The spelling of "Neilson" is debatable; Joseph's parents and siblings, Niels, Hyrum, Annie Johanna, and Mary Sophia spell it "Nielsen". His brother John Peter has "Neilsen" on his headstone. (yet John Peter's children spelled it Nielsen.) Technically speaking "son" would indicate of Swedish ancestry, while "sen" was more typical of Danish.
