  General Notes:

Emigrated: registered Mar. 13, 1872 i København--destination Chicago, Illinois (he came over with a brother and a nephew. He and Martha registered within two days of each other--perhaps they came over on the same ship and met each other that way?))

Sheryl:
H./Peter H. Larsen--I am not sure where the "H." came from-- he always signed his name as "Peter H. Larsen", and that is what they put on his gravestone. It was probably "Hansen" but I have no documentation to prove it, and since his christening records do not give a middle name, it may be something he added himself at a later time. His confirmation record also gives his name as only "Peder Larsen."
