Per the Freeborn County Minnesota Census of 1910, it states, Edward Larson immigrated from Norway in 1880. He was married to Alma Ayars and had four children in America. The children born in Iowa and Minnesota.
However, in an Family book of the 'Ayars' it reflects an Edward Larson in Norway, Michigan. USA.
Both Edwards parents supposedly born in Norway, yet I did not get any hits, on the websites.
Any feedback to the discrepancy would be useful. |

They married in Freeborn on December 9th, 1887. Do you have the marriage record? It could list his parents name.
A bio list him as born 12 Jun 1860.

The free databases at FamilySearch.org also give you the 1900, 1905, 1920 and 1930 census listings of his birthplace. Look it up. |

I had hoped that the original poster, Jodi, would make the simple effort to look it up -- thereby hopefully also noticing the variance of listed years of immigration to the US, etc.
I never meant to sound like I was pushing Jan Peter to do anything. So sorry, that was not my intention. |

Jan Peter forgot one, Minnesota State Census of 1905. Norway as well.
Name: Edward Larson
Age: 45
Census Date: 26 Jun 1905
County: Freeborn
Locality: Freeborn
Birth Location: Norway
Gender: Male
Estimated birth year: abt 1860
His FAG site shows a birth date of 12 June 1860
And his probable first census when he was single shows his name as Edwin A Larsen.
Edwin A. Larson
in the 1880 United States Federal Census
Name: Edwin A. Larson
Age: 19
Birth Date: Abt 1861
Birthplace: Norway
Home in 1880: Freeborn, Freeborn, Minnesota, USA
Dwelling Number: 109
Race: White
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single
Father's Birthplace: Norway
Mother's Birthplace: Nor
Occupation: Farm Laborer
Looking at the original record he is working on the farm of a John Ayars. Alma is age eleven slightly above him as part of the family.
I posted his marriage record in the OP's original Trogstad post yesterday when she essentially asked the same question.
Immigration year is listed as unknown in 1900, and 1880 in 1910 and 1920 |

Hehe.. no worrries. I knew that...  I just wanted to remove any doubt about his origin. It's pretty obvious that he must be born in the country of Norway, and not in Michigan. |

| I want to thank you both for your time and the details. It is that I only had the name, Ed Larsen for this person for a long time, and then came upon a listing connection in Wikitree to Alma Ayars family. The person did not have much other than that themselves. And Ed hailed from Norway Michigan. Interesting. Both my parents have worked extensively on my mothers side, mainly because her mother died when she was three and her father died when she was young. It does lean that way in my head all my life, and staring at their end years without having a finality to his generations is quite disconcerting to me. I am very grateful for this website and your time. Thank you. Jodi Brenann |
