I am hoping someone will be able to give me some advice on how to search for my great grandfather's family in Sweden.
John Alfred Peters (Sea Captain on son's marriage registration) (may have been born on Shetland Islands but no evidence of this yet.)
married Anna ______ (BC death registration on Family Search)
I suspect they married in Sweden.
Son: George Alfred Peter b 14 Mar 1883 in Sweden (death registration, his Canadian military record states Gottenburg, Sweden)
Mother (alive and well in 1917), 1 brother and either 4 sisters or sisters, father died at sea (military record)
Edward Peters - bother on military record - residing at Water St., Vancouver, B.C. when enlisted in 1915
I am hoping to find the marriage of John and Anna or the birth of George Alfred Peter or Edward in Sweden to hopefully get more information on the family.
The family story says that George was so upset when his father John died at sea that he left school and jumped on a ship. He contracted malaria in China before the war so I suspect he was a seaman for a while. Anna's family is believed to have owned ships transporting goods between China, North American and Europe.
Any thoughts would be great appreciated.
Many thanks
Best wishes

these might be your people.These records are from Emibas. From here you can get into the parish rolls and look at the Swedish church census. The page of the parish register is part of the reference.

Frederick,
Emmihamm is a database not a website, I search for your Mary Peterson, but so far no luck. Sorry
Janet,
Johan (Jan) was born 2 Sep 1839 and emigrated in 1868.
Anna was born 20 Mar 1849 and emigrated in 1869.
They are both in the 1870 census in Ishpeming. Johan took the name John J. Berg, which the census taker wrote as Berry in 1870.
Cheri
By chance have you got Johan/Jan Jansson's birthdate and Anna Carlsdotter's birthdate? and is 1868 and 1869 the arrival date or their birth year?
