Arrival date 20. dec 1909 in Portland, Maine
Ship name: Southwark, from Liverpool, England
From California Death Index:

I would like to know more about her family in USA.

Hi Ole,
Do you know for a fact that the Maren J. Peterson in the California Death Index is her? Also, if her married name is Peterson, do you know her husband's first name? These things will make it easier to find her in the different censuses here.

The ship passenger list states that Maren Johan Sandberg was 26 years and her occupation was listed as Cook, from Bode, Norway. Her closest relative from whence she came is Johan Sandberg and that she is going to Salt Lake City.

Is this the same Maren as is listed on the LDS website ? http://www.familysearch.org
Maren Johanna Johansdatter Sandberg
Born 18 June 1883 in "Ilsø på Sørarnøy, Gildeskål, Nordland, Norge" (occasionally that website can't display International Characters).
Father - Johan Christian Sandberg. Mother - Maren Helena.
It doesn't appear that the Pedigree Resource File would contain any additional data from after her emigration but I can check that CD tomorrow if you think it might have any other data of use.
IF this is the same woman it would make us think that Peterson would be a married name and her husband's given name MIGHT be Johan.

Sorry Hopkins,
I miss typed. It should read that on the ship's manifest her name was Sandberg and the closest relative was Johan Sandberg. I corrected my earlier post. Sorry for the confusion, but I think you have the right person from the LDS records.

In the 1930 census there is a Louis G Peterson born abt 1883 in Denmark and his wife Morine J Peterson b abt 1885 living in Fresno, California....they have 2 children: Marion J 14 yrs old and Louis G 10 years old...Louis born in Nevada. It also shows that Maren arrived in the US about 1909! Louis arrived about 1905 and his occupation is shown as a credit manager for a bank.
1920 census with Louis G Peterson age 38 and Maren age 36 with daughter Marian age 4...she was born in Colorado. They were living in Ruth, White Pine, Nevada.
There is a death record for Louis G Peterson b 18 Mar 1920 Nevada, d 19 Jun 1971 in Monterey, CA. |

Hi Tami,
I saw those too, but I'd like to know if her married name is really Peterson and if Ole knows her husband's first name. I think you're right, since I thought the same thing when I saw those different census.

All the info from Hopkins looks correct.
Marens father was Johan C. Sandberg and her mother was Maren H. Sandberg, living in Gildeskal, Norway |

| So, then the census are probably the correct ones....especially if her birthdate matches Maren J Sandberg! |

Sorry, I don't have any info about her husband or her children ... nams etc.
Have got a copy of the Atlantic Ports Passenger List.
Johansdatter means daughter of Johan.
Thanks. |

Hi Ole,
How did you know that her married name was Peterson and how did you know that the Maren J. Peterson in the California death record was the Maren J. Sandberg you were looking for, since it doesn't sound like you have much information on her husband or family? The actual death certificate would confirm it, since that would list her maiden name, birthdate and possibly parents and where she was born.
Tami's match looks good, if we can confirm her married name is truly Peterson.
Take care, Wanda |

I just checked the California Death Record and it lists Maren J. Peterson's birthdate as June 18, 1883, so that matches.

I have a family-memory book from 2001 ... the only info there is her death date and death place ... and her surmane in USA.
My great grandmother died in 1966 ... I guess she got a letter from USA .
I have got an email from a man "Michael" at ethimologie.com ... he have been looking at California Death Index.
The death index info:
Maren J. Peterson, female from Norway, born 18.jun 1883, death 30.may 1962 in Fresno.

Ole,
It looks like this information from the US Census is the right person, so I think you've found her. She may still have some grandchildren that are alive. Possibly a child, but Louis would be 87 years old. Good luck to you!

| Louis Sr must have died before the California death index starts, which is 1940. |
