Bonnie Nilsen has completed the England Project's Post 1700 Orphan Trail I.
Bonnie Nilsen was born in Brooklyn, New York, United States on the 28th of June 1948. Her parents were Francis Herman Nilsen Jr (1921-2008) and Marjorie (Flower) Nilsen (1923-2009).

She grew up in Brooklyn, New York where she attended PS 185, McKinley Junior High, and graduated from Fort Hamilton High School in 1965.
She attended Brooklyn College from 1965 to 1968 on a Regents College Scholarship. There she met Philip Posner. They were married on June 6, 1969.
In 1971, Bonnie and Philip moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Their marriage didn't last and they divorced in 1975.

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention those profiles need.
I noticed that several of the profiles need GEDCOM cleanup. One of our mentors created a YouTube video that explains her process. I recommend adding links to the profiles of family members, rather than removing as recommended in the video.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

This person was born more than 150 years ago and so the profile should be open. Please remove the green lock.
Thanks
