Hello Jessica,
It is nice to hear from a Njus. Nils is my 2nd Great Grandfather's Brother. My 2nd Great Grandfather is Johannes Olson Njus (also the name of Nil's Father) All of my information is family tree oriented. I do not have specifics beyond birth date, place, death date, place, some marriages, etc. I would be happy to send you my family tree and info to compare dates. The info you have given for Nils is identical to mine. If you have spacifics, I would be gratefull for any you might have.
Daniel Ward (My mother is a Njus)
PS. Are you going to the Njus reunion? I think it is in August.
