In 1881, Peter was the immigrant to America, from Sweden, for this family. It is said that Peter came to America with two young sons, in 1881, after his wife had passed away. I, Ken Wise, have not yet proven that.

There is a step-brother, Gudmund's son in previous marriage, Jan Peter born 1852-06-29, and a half-brother Gustaf born 1857-03-25, both sailors. Plus some sisters...

But there is a place named Lyngby in Förslöv parish...
