I am looking for my Great Grandfather.
He was born December 17, 1837 in Norway (possibly in
Hordeland). He emigrated to Kendall County, Illinois in America
in 1858. He changed his name to Thomas Peterson before
1880. He married Britha Tørrisdtr Lunde in 1874 and died
July 15, 1914 in Ford County, Illinois.
He received letters from Norway with references in the headings
to Svalland, Hetland, and Indbjoe. I only have bits and pieces
of information as someone in our family kept the envelopes
with the postmarks and stamps.
Thank you for anything you can locate.
Kindest regards,
James L. Nelson
