Hello,

Looking for a relative. He was born Dec 31 1863 in Eidsvoll, Akershus, Norway. His mother Oline larson and his father was Mikkel(aka Michael ) Larson. I know he married Guri Anderson February 13 of 1883. After that, I cannot find anything on him or Guri. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you :)

Amy A.
