Biography

In an interview August 11, 2016 Dan [Peterson-4473|Peterson] recalled that Carl arrived in the US having survived a storm at sea. All his possession were lost in the storm and he arrived penniless with nothing but the clothing he wore. Dan remember that C.F. and his family sold their farm and moved into Brainerd some time tithe 1930's. Dan recalled standing at the side of the road waving to his cousins as the left the farm moving into town.

Sources

My father recollected that Carl Pedersen, usually called C.F. was an (great) uncle and half brother to either Pedersen-2448 or his wife. This bit of information was enough to begin identifying Peter Larsen and his two wives and families. Some of the sources cited below reflect the identification of the Larsen-2800 families as I discovered them, thus some of these sources are not central to Pedersen-3603 but reflect the discovery of the Larsen-2800 families.

The following seem likely leads although I need some more clues: Peter Larsen is the father in this first lead, which is also the name of great-grandpa [Petersen|pedersen-2448]. The mother's name differs (Susanne Caroline Jensen). This would make him an uncle to grandpa [petersen|petersen-1300].

• August 14, 2016, I now consider most all of the above established facts and I need to go back and revise my findings to reflect these established relationships. It may be a while before I do so. [petersen-1298|Dwight Petersen]
