It's a pity that this family is a mess. The wife of Lars Anders (Andrew) Larsson was Rebecka Johansson (Larsson) they married i Blidsberg 1868. Rebecka is born in Dalum Älvsborgs län, not in Gotland and her last name was Johansson not Peterson. The source for the wedding is here. Blidsbergs kyrkoarkiv, Lysnings- och vigselböcker, SE/GLA/13037/E/1 (1867-1894), bildid: A0022572_00004: https://sok.riksarkivet.se/bildvisning/A0022572_00004 and the text translated looks like this "Shoemaker Anders Magnus Larsson .b 1845 and maid Rebecka Johansdotter b.1845"

Please do this merge (and others), so we can make a less mess of this family.

Johansdotter-3083 and Peterson-18479 appear to represent the same person because: This is the same person. The same is unfortunately for the whole family, all children are duplicated, maybe more?
