Research Notes:
Note: there are not many FTs on Ancestry that have any accuracy for the oldest daughter of Esten and Kjersti Larson, Inger Sorene, known as Serene. The Family Search FT has the basic information, although there is no mention of Serene's parents.
I have utilized the Family Search FT, Findagrave and 10 Mile Lake Church Records and Minnesota Marriage Records.
Serene was first married in 1890 to Nels Larson Nelson, 1867-1913. Serene and Nels had 5 children, with one son Clifford dieing at about 7 months [his findagrave is linked through the father's findagrave]. The other children were: Signor, Leonard, Camelia and Josephine [aka Leah]. I have not researched Serene's children in any detail. See West FT and FamilySearch FT for some details'
