Notes

How to enter Norwegian Names in WikiTree https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Norway_Project_Naming_Conventions

"The Patronym as LNAB is the default rule for most Norwegians born before the legal requirements for surnames." [1923]

"The "farm name" is a location, often a farm or small community. .... Those were primarily addresses, and would change if and when the family moved elsewhere.

This location statement was often used by migrants arriving in America to identify themselves and differentiate one Olsen from another. It became common practice, particularly in the United States, to adopt this as a "surname". But it would be wrong to assume that it was ever thought of as a surname by individuals of a culture to whom the entire concept of "surnames" was utterly foreign. The modern idea of using the Farm name as a kind of "surrogate surname" in genealogy is mostly an American invention, and at odds with historical facts.

Eventually, Norwegians staying in the home country would also convert their farm names to surnames. This didn't really take hold with the rural population until early 20th century."

His LNAB should therefore be corrected to Lauritzon or Lars(s)on
