His death record states that he was born 1862 but that is incorrect according to the Swedish church records. His parents names are not correct either. It is the names of two of his siblings. The informant on the death record was his son Frank and probably he didn't know this for sure.

His marriage record from 1893 to Christina Johnson states the correct names of his parents and also his age. Since he gave that information himself it should be more accurate. My 2nd great grandparents were also noted as witnesses on Peter and Christinas marriage record. The marriage took place in Nebraska.

His Swedish name was Per Nilsson and he ran away to the US somewhere between 1888 and 1893. His obituary states that he came to Nebraska when he was 29 years old.
