I am trying to find more information on 3 sisters, Virginia, Dorothy and Patricia Larsen. This is the information I have acquired so far:
Parents: Henry William Larsen 1883 - 1958 and Anna M Potherweiler 1886 - ?
Virginia R: Born Feb. 3, 1920 in Manchester, North Carolina
Dorothy Anne: Born Sep. 19, 1922 in Bexar, Texas
Patricia: Born 1929 in the Phillipines
All ladies were living in St. Louis from 1930 to 1940. After that I have nothing. No death dates, no marriage records, and basically no clue. Any help would be fantastic. |

Henry Larsen the girl's father was career military. He has been mentioned in several old topics at norwayheritage, including this one:
http://www.norwayheritage.com/snitz/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5305
Henry's death certificate:
http://www.sos.mo.gov/images/archives/deathcerts/1958/1958_00024021.PDF
Henry's death certificate lists the Kriegshauser funeral home as the undertaker. Here is an address/ contact information for a current Kriegshauser mortuarial service, suggest you contact them for possible records on Henry's service:
Kriegshauser Mortuary-West Chapel
9450 Olive Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63132 | 314-994-3322 | |

There is a fairly large number of records for the ladies Patricia, Virgina and Dorothy Ann Larsen travelling from either San Francisco or Los Angeles to and from Honolulu.in the late 1940's. Mostly travelling by pairs. In the 1950's there are a large number of records of individuals with the same names travelling single to various places inthe Pacific. The plane records are harder to ;pin to the ladies you are interested in because they are travelling single and there is very little information on the passengers. In 1946 it appears that Virginia and Dorothy Ann travelled from Honolulu to Los Angeles as shown above and then returned to Honoluliu from San Francisco. Record is shown below.

Searching a different data base on Ancestry.com, this one is called Hawaii, Passenger Lists, 1941-1948. Search for Dorothy Ann Larsen turned up nothing, however searching for Dorothy Larsen turns up a record, that would appear to be based on birth place and residence your Dorothy Ann Larsen. Current address is given as 7332 Etatl. Richmond Hts. MO. Age 25, Passport Issue? 9/19/1922 Ft. Sam Houston Tx.
