Boston 1886 372 7 Marriage View Image View Non-Plugin Image I looked at the birth for "Dora," but she was the dtr. of Peter, not Axel... "Edith" was also dtr. of Peter, as was "Helen." Have you found the family in the 1900 census, and in 1910/1920/1930? If not, then you might want to post to the MA-census-lookup list... I tried to look at the image for marriage of Peter F. in 1886, but the image is all ripped up, in pieces, backwards/upside-down (never really saw anything like it before!)... However!! I was able to look at the death certificate for Peter F. in Oct, 1910, and it's definitely your man... Birthdate and parents' names match up. He was born in Sweden, 19 Sept 1843, to Erasmus and Marie (KJELLBERG). He was a Barber, and resided at 217 Main St. in Everett, which is where he died (of Cirrhosis of liver). He's buried at Glenwood Cemetery in Everett. It says the informant was his wife but doesn't give her name. She is listed as "Benia/Bina L. HELRICH," it looks like, on the birth records of Dora/Edith/Helen... So, if this is your Peter F,, as it appears to be, then it would appear that he arrived in the US long before his "first wife" died in Australia!!?? He would've arrived in time to marry Benia/Bina in Mass. in 1886! What do you think?? Also, this is what the Social Security Death Index has for RUNDSTROM in Mass.: 2 records were found for ' rundstrom' in the following documents: Name SSN Born Died Residence Last Payment SSN Issued Ivar RUNDSTROM 017-10-7346 5 Jun 1914 Sep 1984 Auburn Worcester MA 01501 MA Aurora RUNDSTROM 027-09-3011 5 Aug 1905 May 1981 Auburn Worcester MA 01501 MA Hope this is helpful!
