Prussia to Canada, 1794 - 1923
Daniel P. & Maria (Sawatzky) Peters Family, 1927
Children: Helen, Nettie, Margaret, Maria
Very little is known of our Peters’ Prussian history, apart from the names of several ancestors and the place of their residence. With time, perhaps more will become known. The first ancestor of note, and about whom much is known, is Daniel D. Peters, 1794 – 1879. One of his descendants, Herbert D. Peters, published a brief history and a genealogy in Saskatoon in 1998. Daniel D Peters had a large family, and his descendants number in the thousands. Herbert Peters’ genealogy is a 450-page book, which is evidence of this fact.
