I have looked up more info rmation at my mother's and discovered that Peter Svard died in New York city, but I do not know the date. My great-grandfather (Peter's son) Anton William Peterson , came from Linkoping, Sweden, so I presume that Peter did also. Or perhaps nearby. Caroline( or Carolina) also died in New York City, but I do not know the date. Caroline was the wife of Peter Svard.She died in 1887. Anton William (called Will) died in 1896 of pneumonia. I am not sure if Peter had already died then or not. I think he must have, for I do not remember my grandmother talking about her own grandfather. This information I wrote down when my grandmother was still alive and I was working on the family tree. I happened to find this in an old book!! I hope it helps both of our searches. Please e-mail me and let me know!!!
