Descendants of Peter, Sr.'s brother John Tunell, when doing genealogical research in Sweden, found several interesting facts regarding the family surnames. On what appeared to be a census record (1871-1875), Peter Sr. is listed as Per Jonson (born February 28, 1852) with wife Carin Ersdotter (born October 16, 1855) and a daughter Johanna Törnell (born June 25, 1875; this is Hannah). Another document showed Katarina listed as Katarina Persdotter Törnell at the time of her immigration in 1887. Katarina and Johanna were the only family members found with the Törnell name. Johanna was called Hannah after the family immigrated.
Subsequently, additional records were found on the Ancestry website.
Swedish church emigration records show that Per Tornell Jonsson, Carin Ersdotter, Per Eric Persson Tornell, Lars Olof Persson Tornell and Johanna Frederika departed Skog, Gaveleborg, Sweden for Central City, North America on July 27, 1882. Swedish ship records show P. Tonell, Carin Tonell, Johanna Tonell, Per Tonell, Lars Tonell and Johan Jonson departed Goteborg, Sweden for Hull, England on the ship Orlando on August 11, 1882. A U.S. passenger list shows that P.
