I've already looked at the ELCA baptism/confirmation database at archives.com and found no Frank Haraldson / Haroldson nor Frank / Francis Oscar Olson nor Frank / Francis Offerdal / Offerdahl. I haven't tried Frank Knutson yet. Done now but no result. Which doesn't mean there isn't a baptismal record for him just that it doesn't really result in the search engine of the database.
The Haroldsons lived in Brandrup township of Wilkin county Minnesota and appear in the census records there from at least 1895-1940. In the 1900 census Gena says she is married for 11 years, has born 4 children and 4 children are living (even though there are 6 children in the household.) In either the 1910 or 1920 census Gena's count is 6 children born / 6 children living.
It appears likely that George Haroldson was probably named Gunder and was likely the son of Thor and Thorbjor Haroldson who live near George and his family in Brandrup. George's first wife died and the child Harry Haroldson is likely the son of George / Gunder and his first wife. |

I notice that Frank has listed or had listed for him, his brthplace as both Minnesota and North Dakota.
1900 and 1910 and 1920 US Census birthplace is Minnesota and 1905 Minnesota State Census.
1930 and 1940 US Census birthplace is North Dakota

| I guess my question to poster is where did the information about Frank's father being Knute Offerdal come from? Was it on his death certificate? |

| There's no obituary of Knute Offerdal in the Rowberg Biographical File. |
