I am a descendant of John Christian Peterson, born on 28 April 1845 in Flensberg, Germany. He died on 18 September 1912. He married Maren Matsen on 5 Mar 1870 in Omaha, Nebraska. Children were Ann Catharine(my great grandmother), William Christian, Harry John, Arthur Milton and Alice Maren. My whole family was born in Omaha, Nebraska and I have alot of information on the descendants of this line but I am seeking ancestry for John Christian Peterson.

I am also seeking ancestry on Cornelius Petersson born 1560 in Sweden who married Johanna Van Der Goes. I am a descendant of Rutger Joesten Van Brunt who Married Tryntje Claeson who was Cornelius Petersson's granddaughter and the daughter of Claes'Cornelissen Van Schouwen(Wyckoff).
