& Kristy Nilsson's
Nilsson
Family Tree
Nellie
Larson Nelson & Dage Nelson
begat Hannah-Greta Elisabeth Nelson (Elisabeth)
. Mary
Bitterman
begat John
Maxwell
Bitterman
.
John &
Elisabeth 
married, and begat Sidne, Scott
& their brother
. Back
then,
they were the Bitterman
family. They
lived in Pennsylvania
, New Jersey,
South Carolina, Indiana and
Georgia
.
Scott's brother
(who used to be Bitterman, but is now
Barricks) married
(the girl on his near right)!
Scott
's
sister
(now Sidne Buelow
) married George 
and they
live north of New Orleans
. Scott's
Mom
's brother
is a very serious 
Swede: we can't reveal his
identity.
Interestingly enough, you will
note that Elisabeth
's
maiden name was Nelson -
not Nilsson
like her full brother
who was born a Nilsson (the name saga continues)... Her brother and
his wife
soon had
two sons - our
Cousins
- Doctor Kent
& Reverend Walter
. Kent
married poetess Heidi 
and they live in Athens,
Georgia
- with their daughters,
Annika 
,
Ingrid and Britta... Our other cousins 
, Walter
& Holly 
, live
in Maryland - where Walt is a minister
and Holly is a nurse
; they have two daughters, Julia
Pearl, Susie - and two sons, Nathan and Adam!
After the tragic
passing of Scott
's mom in 2005, his dad 
, now
John Barricks,
moved to Costa Rica where his first street address included
"past the Mango tree which grows in the road, 150 meters from
the lubrication shop" (we're not kidding). Several years later,
John met his wonderful now-partner, Cathy Strachan Lindenberg –
who we all joyfully welcomed into the Barricks-Bitterman-Nilsson
family.
Oh, did we mention that Scott's maternal Grandfather, Dage Konstantin Nelson/Nilsson,
greatly resented the name “Scott” and always called him "Chester" -
while Scott's mother, Elisabeth, wanted to call Scott "Bruno."
Scott is eternally grateful for his given name - and for not having
to go through public grade school as either Chester or Bruno...
There will be no quiz on the names.
