Emerson, b. 1889 in Fargo, ND, but I believe his family may have originated in Clayton County, IA. I have found through census data in IA other links in the family but can find very little on Clarence. I know we are related to the Peter and Batha Larson family. I don't know why he was born in ND, if the family was in IA. I do remember my mother mentioning a possible ancestor by the name of Gronhoud, but I don't know how to spell it. I would love any help in trying to piece together the puzzle, since my mother passed away years ago I have no one living to ask questions of. Thanks so much! Please let me know if you have any questions.
