My grandmother, Lara Larsen, had a picture of several people from Norway. On the back of the picture, it had Bestemor og Bestefar, Huld and Olaf Erickson or Erikson. It was probably taken in the 1940's. She and my father, Henry, went back in 1941 to find him a bride (he was successful!). I know they aren't her grandparents but they might be related somehow, perhaps an aunt and uncle. She did have an uncle who owned several apartment buildings back when she was trying to raise her son by herself. Any help would be dearly appreciated. Thank you. Mary Keys
