Hi,
I'm looking for information on William John Peters and Bessie (nee Nelson)
and their families.
William John Peters was born in Germany , October 1859. According to a
North Dakota, 1900 census, he moved to the states in 1866.
Bessie, was born in Sweden, May 1856. According to the same census she
moved to the states in 1872.
Also in this census it has that the couple married in 1884. This was the
year their second child was born, Edd. Edward was born in North Dakota.
However the first child, Halma, was born in Minnesota.
This is where I have been unable to find information. What part of
Minnesota were they in? Was Halma born out of wedlock or was she the child
of William with a first wife, or Bessie with a first husband?
I'm assuming that since William was just 6 years old and Bessie 16 they
moved with their parents. I am also assuming that Minnesota was where their
parents also lived?
Does any of this sound familar to anyone?
Does anyone know of anyone that can help me research the area of Minnesota
without knowing a county?
All input is greatly welcome and appreciated.
Miranda
