#OTD 30 May 1874 Eric August Petersson, a farmer, married Mathilda Charlotta Andersdotter in Björsäter parish, Östergötland. Six years later they left Sweden with 4 children. Mathilda was about 7 months pregnant on the voyage.
The family settled in the mining community of Negaunee, Michigan, where Eric became a miner. They had at least 5 children born in Michigan.
Eric was the first cousin of my great-great-grandfather and his descendants show up in my family's DNA matches.
