I do not know that this is related to your ancestor, but I remember my grandmother telling us that her grandfather was in the King's Guard in Sweden.His name was Peter Svard. He was married to Carolina who died in1887 in New York City. Their sons Anton William Peterson and Axel Peterson were living in NYC also. They were all from Linkoping,Sweden, I believe. Anton William and Axel came here in 1870. I do not know when Peter and Carolina came, but Peter traveled back and forth to Sweden. Any help? I know all the names of Anton William's children, but only know that Axel had 3 children.
