Larson Family Tree Charts

The Larson family was large and sprawling, so I’m posting a few charts depicting two-generation family trees that can be used to clarify some of the names, dates and/or relationships. This may help readers make sense of the articles where I discuss family history and the stories of some of my ancestors. The first tree is for Lars and Anna and their six children. Lars and Anna were my great-great-grandparents who lived in Sweden. The second tree is for Frank and Emma and their eleven children. Frank and Emma were my great-grandparents who emigrated from Sweden and settled in western New York and Pennsylvania. The third tree is for my grandparents Fred and Josie. Fred was the third of Frank and Emma’s children.

Lars and Anna Stina

Lars and Anna Stina lived their entire lives in Sweden, but all of their children (who survived to adulthood) eventually came to the United States. Frank was my great grandfather, so I’ve highlighted his information in orange.

Frank and Emma

Frank and Emma had eleven children, ten of whom lived to adulthood. My grandfather Fred is highlighted in red. After a bit of moving around, getting married and having children, three of the siblings ended up settling in Florida, two moved to California, one moved to Alabama, one moved to Michigan and the rest stayed in the western New York and Pennsylvania area where their parents and most of the extended relatives lived.

Fred and Josie

Fred and Lucille (she went by either Josie or Lucille) were my grandparents. Their child Joan was my mother.
