Ole and Annie Syverson their wedding picture take in 1901.

This is my grandfather and grandmother on their wedding day, in Grand Forks North Dakota, 1901.When Ole emigrated to the USA, his full name was Ole Aas. However he was laughed at for having such a surname. His father's first name was Syver, so in the tradition of the Norwegians he changed his last name to Syverson.
