Nels Peter Swenson, Hishult Sweden

My great-grandfather is John Peter Swenson (1855-1944).He was born in Hishults, Sweden.He was first married to a Maria/Marie? Jennsen from Sweden.He migrated somewhere around 1870's.He was a cabinetmaker and my family still has two original pieces.
He had adult children living when he married my great-grandmother, Anna Dubetz Snoich (a Ukraine) in 1912ish in Coaldale, Schuykill County, PA.He was buried with his first wife in Coaldale.
Don't think JPS is the same person as your wife's ancestor, but I wonder if they are related and migrated together, based on proximity of date and geography? I'm pretty sure JPS came over with 1-2 brothers.
