| Hi folks I am new to this so please bear with me. I am trying to find descendents of Andrew Larsen, he emigrated to New Zealand. The year I do not know. I know he married a lady named Alice whom was German. I know very little in fact. Whether he married before emigrating or not is another thing that I do not know. I do know that he was my grandfather. They had a number of children. I only met four of their children 5 counting my father. My fathers name was Albert Edward Larsen. His siblings Herbert Larsen, Arthur Larsen, Daisy Larsen,and Leslie Larsen. Albert or Alby as he was called married Lucy Green between 1943 or 1945 they had three girls and one boy. Sally, Betty, Diane and Peter. Daisy married someone with the last name of Sayers. All my dads siblings have passed on now and I don't know all of my cousins. Leslie had 3 daughters Loretta, Dawn and don't know the other ones name. Daisy had two sons one daughter. Gary,Pauline and Jack. If anyone could help me I would really apreciate it. Thankyou for taking the time to read this. D. L. Larsen |

Hello D.L,
I think it would be very helpful to your search, if you did a little more research in New Zealand first. Can you request the death certificates for your grandparents, Andrew and Alice Larsen? Or could you find an obituary at your library? Both of these things might give you enough info to do a thorough search for immigration records, birth records in Norway, etc... It's always best to find out as much info as possible about your immediate family, then move to grandparents, great-grandparents and so on. Then you're able to follow the trail back to Norway. If you find an obit, or even their marriage license, it may mention Andrew's parents or their farm in Norway. More than likely, he was Anders, Andreas or something similar in Norwegian records. I have the obits and death records for my grandparents, great grandparents and even aunts, uncles and great aunts and uncles, which lead me to where they came from in Norway, so I hope the same will be true for you.
I hope this helps. Good luck with your search and don't be afraid to ask questions.
