Hi,

Arthur Larsen is my grandfather. I know he was born in Norway somewhere, maybe Oslo. The story is that he was angry with his parents and came to America. He had nothing to do with his family or Norway.

He married and American at some point in time, somewhere in America. They had a baby in November of 1945. I got a copy of that birth certificate from Phil, PA. It said he was from 'England' (which I KNOW isn't true). Listed him as:
Arthur Ravn Larsen, age 29 (So, he would have been born in 1916, right?).

Well, I got a copy of his death certificate and it lists him as:
Arthur Christian Larsen with a DOB: 4/13/20 which would have made him 53 at the time of death, in 1973. So either the age on the birth or death cert is wrong .

Parents were listed (He had no control over this because he was deceased):
Arthur R. Larsen from Norway, and Sigrid --------- from Norway.

I don't know where to start looking.

Thanks,
Arthur Ward
