I have Family in Iowa, but I know that my Grandfather Harry Earl Peterson was born in North Dakota but I have found other family who moved or died in Nebraska. I am not sure if it is the same family or not. I know that the first Peterson in American was my Great Great Grandfather Albert Jonah Peterson. he was born in Sweden, but I have heard that he travels from Copenhagen. I am not sure if he came with family but I do remember seeing a picture of him with a couple of brothers and maybe a sister. My figures have him arriving through New York, probably, between 1863-1870. I have his obit and it states that he "came to this country from Sweden when he was a youth". No one in the family has been able to find out when he arrived or when he became a citizen or if he did so.
He died in 1935 in Council Bluffs, IA. He married Sarah Ann Hinton on23 December 1878 in Glenwood, IA.Tha family bible lists his middle name as Jonah but it might be Jonas. This is where my Peterson family starts in America. I really don't have anything beyond that on the Petersons. I am and have research on other members of teh family with teh surnames Lewis, Moore, Hinton, and Sergent/Sargent.
If I can help in any otehr way please e-mail me. My address is [email protected]
