Lars and Olle, thank you both so much for the info. Now I will have to try to find some living relatives of Alida, in Sweden or America.  Pat

Hi, I wonder if anyone can find some more info on Johan Kristoffer Pettersson, father of Alida Cecilia Peterson? He was born 24 May 1827 in Odeshog parish, Ostergotlund and married Matilda Andersdotter in June 5 1873,when he was age 46.  I wonder if he was married previously? Pat
