Katharina, I have learned that Clarens Einar Pederson was baptized on the 5 June 1898 at the Skieberg Church and the godparents were Gustav Petterson and ______Swenson. But more importantly I obtained this information from one of your distant relatives. Marcy Johnson tells me that Claren's (Clarence) mother was a sister to Adoph Mathison who is Marcy's great grandfather!
Marcy sent me an email with the information and a photo of Adolph and his family. I will email you a copy of the email. Marcy is very deeply invloved in putting together a book on the 125th Anniversary of the local Grace Luthern Church but will be contacting you by email in the near future. Marcy is very excited, to say the least. Glenn
