More Information Supplied by Lars

Hi family, Lars has been doing quite a bit of research on our family. Through several e-mails we have exchanged, I have garnered some interesting information.

"Your grandfather Richard had 3 siblings in USA and 6 (grown up) in Norway.
I have found 10 cousins of him in USA and 20 in Norway so far.
So please look for old photos and letters perhaps giving more information."

and in another e-mail from Lars this information:

"We talked about Richard B Olsens sister Otelie (who died 1916) a few days ago.
I knew she had a son Trygve (Petersen) born in Norway 1904 and according to
census 1920 living in his uncle Mathias (Dragland) Olsens family.
Otelie then (1907?) married Peter Sevald Petersen from Norway in Seattle.
They have 2 sons.


1. Olaf H (Nick) Petersen born 1907 Richmond Beach and died 1974 in Seattle.
Married 1934 to Etta Stroud born 1907. They had only 1 son Rex Petersen (living 1974).

2. Sverre Stoltenberg Petersen born 1911 Richmond Beach died 1979 Lynnwood.
Married 1948 to Rosemary Taylor born 1926 died 1994. They had 2 sons (living 1979).
Matthew born 1949 and Steven born 1951.
