  Peter insisted they send for Elsa, my grandmother. At age 16, my grandmother boarded a ship and immigrated to Chicago to live with a mother she barely remembered. On her Ellis Island documents, Peter Emil Hammarberg is listed as paying for my grandmother’s passage to America. My mother told me Peter was a wonderful step-grandfather and was somehow related to my great grandmother, Elna. Intrigued, I explored Peter Hammarberg’s ancestry. Peter’s World War II draft record lists his date birth as March 31, 1878 in Helsingborg, Skåne, Sweden. According to my mother, Peter had been banished to America, like Elna. Peter supposedly was kicked out of college in Helsingborg for getting in a fight, so his father sent him off to America. In 1900, Per (Peter) Emil Hammarberg was living with his parents and siblings in Sweden. Per's father is listed as Per Persson, born in 1846. The children have the last name "Hammarberg" instead of "Persson" or "Persdotter." Peter’s father chose the last name “Hammarberg” for his children.
