Hi All,  I recently discovered that my paternal great grand mother was a Peterson.  MARY PETERSON has been a real genealogical mystery.  I know from the 1880 US Census that she and her parents were born in Sweden.  From a SF CA newspaper death notice I know she died in San Francisco CA on March 7, 1884 at the young age of 33yrs 9 months. I suspect pregnancy, child birth complications or some kind of epidemic.  Her estimated birth date is about June 1850.  So she immigrated to the US sometime between her birth in 1850 and 1878 when she was first located in SF CA.  Sometime in the 1870's, she married my great grand father and became Mary Peterson Haentschel .  She had a son, my grandfather born on Feb 17, 1878 in SF.  Because of the San Francisco earthquake and fire very few records regarding marriage, birth, death exist.  I do know where she was first buried in SF and that she was later moved to Colma when they closed and moved most of the SF cemeteries.  I have no idea when, where or how she arrived in the US.  I suspect maybe New York.  I wonder if she may have come to the US as a child with other family members? I have no idea of names of parents or possible siblings.  But maybe there could be a link to someone else in this group?  .

I am collecting descendants of Charles Gustaf Peterson, who was born 1846 in Hvetlanda, Smaland, Sweden. He immigrated 1869 to Chicago, Illinois. He married Helena Carlson born 1843 in Skatelov, Kronoberg, Sweden. There were seven sons all born in Chicago. Most descendants stayed in the Chicago area, and one, George Wendell Peterson, moved to California. I have no information on his marriage or family. I have much information on the Petersons and Carlsons in Sweden.

My wife's great-grandfather was August Peterson, born 31 mar 1879 in Törnevalla, , Östergötlands län, Sweden. He came to the US circa 1901. Siblings include: Oscar, Otto from first wife and Anna Esther, Elsa with the second. He married Alice Anderson 4 aug 1917. He was commonly known as Guss. I don't know if or how much his name changed when he arrived.

How does one find his crossing record and then information further back? I'd appreciate any help!
