Albert Olferd Varpness b: Mar 14, 1887 Namsos, Norway d: Sep 23, 1968 MN. Malla Miller b: Oct 23, 1883 MN d: Nov 25, 1959 MN. They were married: Feb 11, 1914. This photo marks their 40th. wedding anniversary. This is Albert who crossed the ocean from Norway with his parents and one younger brother, Edwin on their voyage to America. Albert is the oldest of all his siblings and a brother to my paternal grandmother, Thora Olga Varpness. Albert and his wife, Malla (Miller) Varpness had seven children. It is through their sixth child, Irving M. Varpness that I have been blessed to learn about my Norwegian Heritage. I never would have found Irving had it not been for one my other long lost cousins, Larry Warsik of Florida. It is thru Larry that I was able to learn of my paternal grandmother's maiden name which led me in my search to my cousin, Irving Varpness. (Photo & Varpness History is a courtesy of great research by Irving M. Varpness of MN, son of this couple.)Date Taken: February 1954
