Can anyone out there provide the relationship of Karoline [Ingvaldsen] Sorenson and the Conrad Ingvaldsen mentioned in Arthur Sorenson's obituary? Near as I can tell, she would have been about 30 years older. At this time, I am assuming Conrad's dad and Karoline were brother and sister.

It was interesting to see this obituary. I am the son of Robert D. Sorenson, who was a nephew of Arthur Sorenson, and who attended the funeral with his maternal grandmother, Nellie DeLong. His mother died after he was born, and his dad, Carl J. Sorenson (Arthur's brother), died when my dad was nine years old. There was a family reunion in Longwood, Wis., in Aug. 2003.  Carl J. Sorenson
