Olaf Larsen

[diane]

I'm searching for any information on my grandfather Olaf E Larsen my grandmother Augusta Larsen (Ahlgren,Algren)or my uncle George Larsen.  All came to New York sometime between 1910 and 1918 the year my father Olaf E Larsen jr.was born. All of them have passed on and no one in my family seems to know much. The place of birth on the death certificates say Sweden thats all. Any help or information as to how to find out more would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.    Diane Larsen

The names Olaf and Larsen are not Swedish, rather Danish or Norwegian. Corresponding Swedish names are Olof or Olov and Larsson or Larson. This does not mean that Swedes couldn´t have Danish or Norwegian names. It is difficult to find people if you only have Sweden as birth reference as the Swedish civic records are strictly organized after parish of birth. Don´t you have any more info such as exact name, exact birth date et cetera?
