Annette,
Hello... Yes Nels Iversen was the brother of Michael Iversen. Together they founded Point Arena California. My grandmother was the daughter of Michael. Her mother was Mary Elizabeth Maddox Iversen. aka Lizzie. What do you want to know??? If I can help you please do not hesitate.
If you want to find out information about the Captain you can read about him in the hhistory of Mendocino county.
