Research Notes
NOTE: While he presumably was known as Arne Rudolf Ludvig Raab, there is no evidence that he ever used the LNAB of Raab. All news articles, source information, and documented evidence points to him "only" ever using the LNAB of Næss. It is "presumed" correct that he would be named after his father while his parents were married, and so Raab is used at this time. If evidence surfaces that proves he was never named this, we will correct the LNAB at that time.
