Alexander Peterson, b. August 8, 1829, Uddevalla

[Allan Morrison]

Looking for information on the subject. He may have lived at Barby farm somewhere near Uddevalla. He emigrated to Norway at 15 and then to Freeborn County Minnesota in 1864.

Hi Allan,
I couldn't find your Alexander in Minnesota but did locate, in the 1880 census, a single miner in Marquette, Michigan by that name.  Unfortunately no additional information is available except that he was a boarder in the home of August Anderson, a married Norwegian emigrant with a wife & 3 children.  Another boarder, Peter Erickson, age 40, is also from Sweden.
