Welcome to The Vogel-Riesner-Nelson-Olson Family Genealogy

Due to the more than several thousand descendants in both the Vogel and Nelson lineages, and the limited bytes on this web-site, listing ancestries for each individual was impractical. Please e-mail us at tgvogel@mchsi.com for a PDF formatted chart for an individual. Otherwise, perusing the charts available by enlarging the boxes, should find your name(s) and associated lineage(s) of interest as they have been recorded. Some data for current generations is incomplete, missing or may be incorrect. If you wish it to be added or corrected, contact us at the above e-mail address. Thank You

Tom Vogel & Gayle Nelson

For each Ancestry or Descendancy, we have created two options: Whole (W) or Multi (M). The Whole option is the entire tree on a single page PDF file. For most trees this option will be unreadable because of how large the tree is, unless you open the file separately in Acrobat and zoom in. The benefit is that once you zoom in, you can pan around the tree manually without having to switch to other pages. The other option is Multi and this is definitely readable, however, the pages come in a predetermined sequence. The benefit here is that you will be able to print each of the pages and paste/tape them together to create a poster size tree like the ones you may have seen at a family reunion that I (Tom Vogel) have attended with my battalion of family tree posters.
