Surnames: Peterson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Fh.2ADI/5846 Message Board Post: I've been trying to identify the parents and siblings of my GGF Charles John Peterson since 1998. The only new information in all that time has been his DOB of 7 Mar 1885. It has been complicated by having some records show him as being born in ND, and others in IL. The first record I find of him is 1910 census in Phoenix, AZ. In 1917 he married Flora Ivester, 1918 a daughter, Annie is born. 1919 he dies of TB. We speculate he moved to AZ because of the TB. Oral family history has his parents as being Swedish immigrants. If you can add any possible piece of information to this, you would be my hero. Donna
