I just found the daughter of my 2 great grandfather--Franzeska Utschig--married to Julius Petersen/Peterson. Julius, according to New York census records, was born Jun 1834 in Hamburg; married about 1860, most likely in New York, and died before the 1910 census.

As per the 1900 and 1910 New York, Manhattan Borough, censuses, Franzeska had 9 children, 3 living. I found the following children: (1)John Peterson, born Jun 1861, New York; (2) Julius Peterson, born about 1865, New York; (3) William and/or Charles Peterson, born about 1869, New York; (4) Louis Petersen, born 15 Apr 1872, New York; (5) Harry Peterson, born Feb 1876, New York; probably died Apr 1963, New York; married Mary __ about 1897 and had 2 children--Harry Peterson, born Feb 1898, New York; and Florence Peterson, born about 1905, New York; Mary died before the 1910 census; (6) Mary Peterson, born May 1880, New York.

Julius immigrated about 1855, as per the census records; and Franzeska, his wife, immigrated about 1854/1856, as per the census records.

Anyone with information about this family, I would love to hear from.

By the way, Julius Petersen and Franzeska Utschig Petersen were first found on the extracted christening record of their son Louis (4th child) with their surname spelled Petersen. On most of the census records, it was spelled "son" on the end.
