Mathea Larsdatter and Lars Larsen
kroken	I am trying to trace Mathea and Lars who were the aunt and uncle of my grandmother. Mathea emigrated in 1887 and settled in West Salem, Wisconsin. Lars emigrated in 1888 and settled in Yankton, South Dakota. If anybody could give me a tip, I would be grateful
Brining	Hi Do you have their ages, where they emigrated from? I did a search in the US census for Lars Larsen in Yankton but did not find any. Mathea will be hard to find if she married but you could try and contact the La Crosse County Historical Society or the West Salem Historical Society [url="http://www.genealogyforum.rootsweb.com/gfaol/resource/WI/HS.htm"]Click Here[/url] Carla
kroken	Lars Larsen was born 1868 and Mathea was born 1861
Brining	Hi I found Lars and Mathea in the emigrants from Kristiana list. Lars is listed as Lars Lars. Holmen. In the 1910 census for Volin, Yankton county South Dakota there is a 42 year old Lars Holmen, single, well digger. He is also listed in Yankton County, SD Naturalizations [url="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sd/yankton/naturals.txt"]Click Here[/url] It looks like a pretty good match for your Lars Carla
kroken	Thanks for your effort. It seems a bit unlikely that a 42 years old single, well-digger should have left behind any family, so the search probably stops here. The only thing for me would be to look if there exists any obituary.
Jo Anne Sadler	There is a Lars Holman, 58, died in 1926 buried in Vangen Lutheran Cemetery in Volin. [url="ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/sd/yankton/cemeteries/vangen.txt"]click here[/url]
