Nancy Nygreen created this website in the early 1990s for her consulting business known as Nygreen Management. For the past few years, Nancy has been winding down her consulting practice, taking on fewer assignments each year. So this website has therefore transitioned into a family website -- starting small but will be extended.

During the pandemic, Nancy only did research consulting projects that didn't require travel; i.e., a lot of telephone interviews and Zoom meetings; no in-person focus groups or meetings.

So with reduced consulting work due to Covid, she discovered much more time to ride her horse ("Halle") every day. However, in early 2023 she sold Halle and remains horseless!

Beginning in 2024, we moved to Jackson NH and we're now in retirement mode -- the definition of which is somewhat different in this Town of Jackson.... (we'll leave it at that)

There are only a few "Nygreens" with 2 e's in the name, because Theodore W. Nygren of Bellingham, Washington, added the extra "e" in the early 1900s. His three sons (Glen, Howard, Paul) propagated the dual-e Nygreen name. So in total, there are relatively few Nygreens in America.

In 1999, the eldest son, Glen (1918-2010) decided to write an autobiography of sorts, which he titled "A Memoir Of a Journey Not Yet Completed." This life history documented a considerable history of the NYGREEN family beginning with his great-grandfather Olof Jonsson in Sweden. We know that Olof changed the original Swedish name to Nygren (one 'e') when arriving in Minnesota in the mid 1860s. Then it was Glen's father (Theodore William) who added the extra 'e' in the early 1900s.

This "autobiography" is 52 pages of really fascinating history! (IMHO) Here's a link to open it directly in a new browser window:

This website centers around the family of Glen's son, Ted Nygreen. Ted and Nancy have three children: Kristin, Kysa, Kathryn. They lived in Princeton NJ (32 years), White Plains NY (15 years), Bedford NY (11 years), and since 2024 way up north in Jackson NH (Mount Washington Valley).

Most of this website - specifically the password-protected area - is devoted to those the daughters and their families, comprising a total of 7 grandchildren born 2006 and 2013.

The non-protected areas are extensive, and provide accessible pages for lost friends and distant relatives to find us (!)

Thanksgiving is one time each year when the entire family gets together for a 5-day "long weekend." The immediate family consists of our 3 daughters, their spouses, and 7 grandchildren, so we have 15 humans and 6 dogs living in our house. It's always a wonderful, fun experience... and not as crowded as it might sound (6 bathrooms!)

Here's a photo of the 7 grandchildren at Thanksgiving 2023 when we still lived in Bedford, New York. Our new house in New Hampshire isn't large enough to accommodate all 15+6.

It's fun to line up the grandchildren every year somewhere around the pool; this photo is one in an annual series that illustrates how they grow every year (!)

Needless to say, they spend a lot of the time in Bedford around the pool.

Our seven grandchildren are getting older every year. (no surprise!)

Here they are during the 2021 summer in Newport... (oops, where's Julian?)

Now that this website has transitioned from Nancy's consulting to a family website, we will probably be adding more pages that will have limited interest outside the family... (!)
