My family members said that before the PETERSEN emigrated to South Africa there surname was PEDERSEN (Norway).

My Great-Grandfather Paulus Arthur Petersen dad Carl everybody called Grandfather Carly (nickname) so I search PEDERSEN family emigrated from Norway to Transvaal South Africa and only two stood out of the all the info:
