Anders probably arrived too late to have appeared on the 1880 census, unfortunately, but
he could well have been intending to join this family in Porter Co. Valparaiso is the
county capitol (county seat). Sons of Peter, John and Charles, appear on the 1900 census
in Liberty Twp., Porter Co., IN, living next door to each other. John and Charles
immigrated in 1867, according to the 1900 census.
