Titel: Help! with finding Carl W. Peterson
Skrivet av: David Peterson skrivet 2000-05-03, 05:14
I need help in locating information about my Great Grandfather Carl W. Peterson, born 1842-01-14 in Linköping. He emmigrated to America in 1878. His parents were Johannes Peterson and Sara L. Nelson. I have no Idea what parish he was born in. Nor do I know the exact date on which he left Sweden. In 1879 He married a Swedish girl in Galva Illinois. I don't know if he came to America alone or if he traveled with someone. While applying for citizenship he changed his name from Carl to Charles, which I understand was common practice. This is only a possibility but he may have been from Ulriceham, but I don't know that for sure. I would like to someday find his living relatives there in Sweden. If anyone can help me please send me an E-Mail.
