Bernhard C. Peterson

[Suzanne Frantz]

My morfar was BERNHARD PETERSON, born 14 September 1883 in Vänersborg.  He immigrated to New York, leaving Göteberg 13 October 1905, and married Anna Carlson of Nydala in Yonkers, Westchester County, New York in 1910.  On his marriage license he gave his parents names as ANDERS PETERSON & MARIA (PETERSON.)  Bernhard worked as a house painter in Yonkers and died at a relatively young age on 25 August 1925.  My mormor did not know anything about his life in Sweden or his parents.  If anyone can give me any direction, I would be grateful.  Tacke, Suzanne Frantz
