Maria Andersson

   Other names for Maria were Maria Svensdotter Anderson and Mary Anderson.

  Research Notes:

NOTE: complete information on Maria and her family is not available. From available information, she was married to Kundt Larsen in 1867. I have not found much information about him, other than he likely died between 1876-1880 in Minnesota. Maria had 3 children. The oldest was Louis K Larsen, and he died in Nelson, BC; he was not married nor did he have children. Sven Martin Larsen was born in 1870 in MN. He lived in North Dakota for awhile, and about 1902 he moved to the Stettler AB area where he had homesteaded. Sven was married in North Dakota. They had one son, Lawrence Martin He was married twice and had 3 sons, but they all died at a young age.

Maria and Knudt had a daugther, Ella born in about 1876 in MN (1880 US Census). However I had not found any other information for her.

Some of the information is from Ancestry Family Trees, although most have missing information.
I have also used the information of findagrave for Sven's family.

then,
Mary Larson, age 34, boarder; [Sven Anderson's daughter, Maria and her husband Knut Larson ]
son Louis, age 11 [abt 1868/69]
son Sven, age 9 [b 17 Aug 1870; name as Sven Martin [Big Grove Lutheran Church, Brooten, MN] **
dau Ella, age 4 [abt 1876]

- daughter Maria b 1845 was recorded in the 1875 MN State Census with her parents and the 2 oldest children with surname of "Laarson"
- Knute Larson is not recorded with the family, so it is possible that he was away working
- by 1880, Maria is recorded as a "widow", so it is reasonable that he likely died before Jun of 1880. FTs record the birth of Ella about 1876 - I have not found a birth recorded at Big Grove or Norway Lake, so it is possible that family lived someplace else

** he is the son of Helen [Helga] and O A Nelson - either we have the wrong person, or the name of mother is badly misspelled or incorrect or at sometime, Maria started to use Christine as given name

RE: son Sven MartIn Larsen

can't find him or son Lawrence, in the 1926 Canada Census - 6 June 2021
- reviewed the town of Stettler and (Camrose ED) and the sub district 14 - re; farm/homestead in the Waverly district
BUT neither are recorded

- I also checked Alberta Homesteads, but can't find the file information - the file number is off
- on AB Homestead index he is recorded: Sven Martin Larson; NE sec 12, twp 39, range 20, w4th;
probably received a patent but an image of the patent is not posted on Library and Archives Canada
