Oops, I meant 1885.
Why is death cert for Sigurd saying parents Lars Larsen and Carrie Hansen? |

| Both parents were deceased for many years when this certificate was filled out by Peter. The children all went by Larson, so he most likely put the father's name as Lars Larson rather than Lars Hanson. He listed Hanson as Carrie's (Kari) maiden name. This is why I started looking for a Kari Hanson and found the 1885 census, They did live in Odin and everything matched the parents ages and children's information. At first, I did not know if Hanson was her maiden name or a different marriage. It is my belief that the family name is Hanson and Larson was used by the children of Lars Hanson. |

| Sigurd listed his parents names in the baby book as Lars and Kari Rusten. As one poster said, this family may have used many variations. I have tried to substantiate each little lead with confirmation from multiple sources. Will continue to do so. |

Some of the use of the Rusten name may come from the records kept by the ELC
See this one on Mari. Born in Norway but confirmed in the US. The original record shows the mothers name as Mari Kari not Ari.(my error, did not read it correctly)
Mari Rusten in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940
Name: Mari Rusten
Event Type: Confirmation
Birth Date: 11 Oct 1873
Confirmation Date: 11 Nov 1888
Father: Lars Rusten
Mother: Ari Olsdotter
Church Name: Long Lake Lutheran
Church Location: Wetonwen, Minnesota

| This is the birth date of Mary Rusten Larson Serkland. Therefore I believe that the mother is Kari, not Mari. Correct date of birth and location. Since it said Ari and also error in spelling the location. |

| This church record seems to make the link between the U.S. family and the Family in Norway. Mary's birth date is exactly the same. Also shows use of Rusten for whatever reason. Wonderful strides being made here. |

Haha, I was just coming back with Lars's birth record, here:
http://www.arkivverket.no/URN:NBN:no-a1450-kb20070603500257.jpg
To read it first to know is that "do" means ditto. The birth date and baptismal date are ditto (same as) child above. Also, a person's name can be broken in the middle (written on two lines).
Born 18 December 1824
Lars
Baptized January --
Parents Hans Jacobsen and Kari Larsdatter
Place name is hard to read (others in the forum will know)
Then to the right comes a list of witnesses - can be family or friends
Not sure if this is covered further on or not, Farm name looks like Storust to me so Big Rust |

| Ah! So that could be the Rusten reference for where Lars was born. Sigurd was born in Minnesota. I think in Odin. Cannot find a birth certificate though. I was told that back then if they were born at home it wasn't always recorded and to look for a christening record. That is why I contacted the Pastor at St. Olaf. Still do not have a christening record. Sigurd moved to St. James, then St.mPaul, and then Minneapolis where my dad was born. Sigurd also spent a few years outside of Minnesota before marrying my grandmother in Minneapolis, according to a newspaper clipping. |

How about a confirmation record. It lists for "where baptised" as Odin. The parents are rendered as Hans and Kari Larsen.
I am getting a little curious about all these names. Is there more than one family here. A Hans Larsen and a Lars Hansen or are they one and the same person. Or am I just getting confused with the other Hans Larsen from Albin, Brown, Minnesota, United States, discussed earlier in this thread.
Sigrud Larsen in the Evangelical Lutheran Church of America, Records, 1875-1940
Name: Sigrud Larsen
Event Type: Confirmation
Birth Date: 1 Apr 1882
Confirmation Date: 27 Jun 1897
Father: Hans Larsen
Mother: Kari Larsen
Church Name: St Olaf Lutheran
Church Location: Martin, Minnesota

| This IS my grandfather! Woohoo!!! Lars Hansen is his father. Lars was a widow and had a son named Hans from his first marriage (mother is not Kari). This confirms everything I have tried to piece together for so many years! You all are awesome. Thank you! |

| after rereading I see father is listed as Hans Larsen. Oh my, it should be Lars Hansen who had died in 1893. Possibly why the name is wrong. The family was going by Larson by this time. Sigurd Larson, son of Lars Hansen. |
