Hi -
Sorry, I was unable to find Pehr or Kjerstin on the Emibas CD with the birth dates you
have. The CD is estimated to be only about 75% complete. I would suggest trying to find
them in Swedish-American church records, which usually include the parish of birth and/or
the parish the person emigrated from. The Swenson Center in Rock Island, Illinois has an
extensive collection of these records on microfilm. Their web site
(
http://www.augustana.edu/swenson/) has a list of the records they hold. However, the
films do not circulate, so you either have to go to the Center or else pay them to do the
research for you.
Good luck in your search -
Mark Johnson
