This fifth volume of the series describes Rambos of unknown ancestry and the children of Peter Gunnarson Rambo's last four children: Catherine who married Peter Mattson; Andrew who married Maria Cock; John who married Brigitta Cock; and a daughter who married Anders Nilsson Friend. This volume lists their children and many generations of descendants, although generally no people still living will be recorded herein. Rambo is the primary surname in this book although extended families are recorded by daughters who married Denny, Hendrickson, Mattson, Springer, and Tranberg husbands. A third edition of this genealogy is being compiled as you read this. Please help to improve this genealogy by sending me corrections, additions and improvements. With your help, the third edition can be even better. Nearly all of the Rambo families in the United States are descended from one common ancestor: Peter Gunnarson Rambo, who landed on the shores of the Delaware River in 1640 at what is now Wilmington, Delaware. This history of the Rambo family describes Peter and his six children and lists their descendants who can be found in every state of the Union. Up through 1850 all the Rambo families in the United States are believed to be descended from Peter. Some of the family lines have been extended to the 12th generation with their children comprising the 13th generation. Thanks. Ron Beatty, February 2008
