Dear Jan: ?? My one Peterson is a HUGE brickwall for me.? He was my gg-grandfather, Martin Peterson.? I have his citizenship papers and he was born around 1828 in Sweden.??He married Mary J. Roache (born abt 1835 in Co. Wexford, Ireland) and he died?between May-August 1869 "at sea".? Mary was pregnancy with my g-grandmother, Carrie Peterson and?family story says he died 3-6 months before Carrie was born.? Part of my problem?began with finding Carrie's birth and death Certificates.? Her death cert lists her parents as "Mathew (from Sweden)?and Ellen (from Ireland)".? Well, Ellen is Mary's sister.? When I found her Birth certificate, the information and signature is that of Mary Roache and she lists father as Martin (From Switzerland).? Figure the mother has got to know right?? But his Citizenship papers do list him from Sweden (it's the only Martin Peterson I have been able to find, so I believe this is the right one." With him dying "at sea"....I am at a lost as to how to go about finding what happened to him, and of course "Peterson" in Sweden is like Smith and Jones here. Any help appreciated, Lisa -----Original Message----- From: romayor2@aol.com To: laorlean@rootsweb.com Sent: Fri, 4 Apr 2008 4:29 pm Subject: Re: [LAORLEAN] Roll Call Lisa,?
