Amanda Petersson

[Esther Weigel]

I am looking for relatives of my grandmother, Amanda Petersson,that may still live in the Malmo area. Amada was born May 14, 1864,(Madesjo: C 1:7 1861-75) and emigrated to America 1892.  She had a brother Carl Jonas (born July 18, 1868) and sisters Hulda and Hilma Augusta(born November 13, 1877).  Carl married Emma Mathilda Johansdotter and had a daughter Anna Elsa Sigrid born June 12,1897.  Carl worked in Sigislaryd,Madesjo parish, as a shoemaker, according to Ha:llebera parish birth record for Anna.  These three relatives visited my grandmother in North Dakota in 1900 according to 1900 census.  Amanda's father was Peter August Jonsson and his wife was Stina Beata Samuelsdotter or Stina Beata Adolfsdotter.  This is all the information I have, and am hoping someone may recognize these names and get in touch with me. Thanks.  Esther Weigel in Wisconsin.  esther@spacestar.net

I am researching Hulda Josefina Peterson born 1872-09-15 and Hilma Augusta Peterson born 1877-11-19.  Both were born in Madesjo.  The last record I have of Hulda is that she moved to Elghult 1888-12-15.  The last record I have of Hilma is that she moved to Larum, Elfsborgs lan 1904-10-29.  I would like to know if they moved, married, or died at these locations.  Esther Weigel in Wisconsin esther@spacestar.net
