Hi,
Peder was my great-grandmother¨s brother. He was born January 27 in 1883 and he emigrated on SS Lucane departing from Liverpool and arriving at Ellis Island in april 1899. I have found him on the passenger lists. From a census record in 1930 I know that he was living in Carbon County in Wyoming with his English born wife Lillie and four sons: Elmer , Frank Kermit and George born (appx. (respectively) 1915, 1916, 1918 and 1922.
I have heard that Frank later lived in California. Anyone who knows something about this family?

| Thank you. I am waiting for information from a relative concerning his sons and their names, but from the investigation I have been doing, I think this is my Peder/Peter and his son.I got one information wrong. Lille was born in Wisconsin, her father was English, the mother Swedish. |

I found Linda and Erik Hoofnagle on Facebook as well as Amy Nelson, so know I am hooked up with them and can fulfill my puzzle! Thank you for posting the obituary who started the whole thing!
