Hi Alyssa, This is a real longshot, but check the link below as one never knows for sure when it comes to emigrants and their names in a new country. https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-CSG4-M7C8-P Here you find a boy named Carl Anton (born 25 April 1855) together with his parents and siblings. A problem is that his father’s Christian name is Berhard, not Frans Gustaf as written in the US marriage record. It might however explain Anton’s surname, which would have been Bernhardsson (patronymic) in Sweden. His mother is named Maja Brita Persdotter, not too far from Mary Peterson. In a Swedish household record (Skee (O) AI:25 (1881-1886) Bild 188 / sid 592) there is a notice about Carl Anton being a sailor, and that he is married in the US! He is also transferred in the household records (Skee (O) AI:25 (1881-1886) Bild 412 / sid 814 and Skee (O) AI:27 (1886-1890) Bild 361 / sid 751) to pages for “Kvarstående obefintlige” (persons no longer living in the Skee parish). Happy hunting! Anita
