Lars Bergseth
- Born: 6 Sep 1876, Lia, Ytre-Rendal, Hedmark, Norway 10525
Research Notes:
Lars Bergseth I haven't been able to find anymore information on Lars. He may be recorded in 1900 US Census as a day laborer in Elmore Village, Faribault Co. However that is the last record I have found for him. I have not found a death record or burial record.
I had found a record for a person named Lars Bergseth who died in 1941 in Swift Co, MN and married to Lizzie Johnson who was born in Renville Co, MN and her mother was likely Anna Lillebo. I thought that this was a bit of a coindence, but after I did a fair amount of research [see below]. This Lars Bergseth who died in 1941 was not 'our' Lars Bergseth.
