My great grandfather Johan Pettersson (also Persson) was born 1865 in Sunne parish, Värmland, Sweden and was in America several times. Many of his siblings emigrated and I believe that at least two of them could have moved to the Superior area. His sister Emma was born Nov or Dec 22, 1872 in Sunne and came to Gladstone, Michigan where she married Karl Ludvig "Charles" Strand. As far as I know they had three children: Olga Gustafva born Feb 21,1894, Charles Verner born July 9,1896, Sigrid Elisabeth born Sep 10, 1898. They left Gladstone Dec 1911. Found a Charles Strand age 56 in the Census Records of 1920 in Superior. The information said "Roll T625_1985, page 2A, ED:76, image:4" which is Greek to me.... I also found a Charles Strand in SSDI, born July 9, 1896, deceased Jan 1984 in Saint Paul, MN. (SSN 447-18-9992). Can´t say this is Emma´s son with so little informati! on though. Emma´s brother Otto Peterson was born Sep 15, 1877 in Sunne and he also lived in Gladstone before moving to Superior together with his wife Emmy and the three children Otis Willard born March 10, 1905, Laura Virginia born April 1, 1908 and Jeanette Dorothea born Sep 26, 1909. Eventually they had more children. I have no more information regarding Otto, but found Laura V Peterson in the SSDI deceased May 4, 1998 in Superior, zip code 54880 (SSN 477-07-5403). I also found Otis W Peterson as deceased June 14, 1976 in VA (SSN 701-10-7085). If this is the right Otis I don´t know. I have located Johan´s sister Karolina "Lina" Peterson in Gladstone, Lars Peterson in Sweden and Per "Peter" Peterson in Minnesota, but there are some siblings still missing: Olof (Persson/Peterson?) born Feb 1, 1861, emigrated April 1881 (no more information) and Ida born Sep 17, 1868, married Bloomquist. I believe she had several children but I don´t know where she and her husband lived. If anyone has information about any of these relatives I´d be most grateful if you could share it with me! Looking forward to hearing from you! Yours sincerely, Martina Jonsson.
