In LDS FamilySearch, there is a listing for the following:
Ernest Helgesson, b. @1870, possibly at Snartorp, Uppharad, Alvsborg, Sweden
Ida Andersson, b. @1872, Snartorp, Uppharad, Alvsborg, Sweden
married @1894, possibly also at Snartorp.
This SURELY fits the right dates for Ernest Sr and Ida, though makes no sense, that Mr. Nelson is listed as 'father-in-law'. However, given the Scandinavian naming conventions, this IS actually not IMpossible. Worth consideration, given the dates and names. The possibility this is the RIGHT couple involves Ida's father's first name of 'Andrew'. Andrew, son of Nels, would be Andrew Nelson, though, by STRICTEST naming conventions, that would mean Ida's surname would have been listed as Andersdatter, vice Andersson. DEFINITELY, though, a major possibility.
