Start of the extended family

I have come to the conclusion that my grandfather just didn't know of his fathers family because he died relatively early "56" and my grandfather was only "22" and they just didn't talk about the extended family. Or didn't ask these questions. According to my new "link" Mel my great great grandfather Heinrich Peters was married twice. But my great grandfather John Henry Peters was the youngest so maybe he didn't interact with them. Hence he didn't know much about them. Also the age difference between him and the oldest sibling is 23 years.

My next step is to fill in the people from Mel's tree and then make another trip to the Mn Historical Society Library and search Heinrich and Ann's death certificates and naturalization forms to confirm names and dates. Then search the church records and census.
