A couple of years ago I got the manuscripts of the complete work done by a genealogist hired by my relatives. He had been working for many years, tracing our family down to the Petres of Writtle in 14'th century England.

Thanks to Anders Anerud in Åkersberga, Sweden, I have more information about the Scottish Petre line here. I have not yet translated the article from Swedish but I will do that soon. Anders also asks all who might have any additional information about Margareha (or Maria?) Höijer (born 1626) to please get in touch. |
