Finnestad Ancestry

Here is a photo of the marker for Ole and Mari Finnestad's great grandson Robert Ludwig. Robert was the grandson of Elizabeth (Finnestad) and Ole Andreas Knutson and the second child born to  Edith (Knutson) and Charles Edward Ludwig. Robert was born March 5, 1924 in Rochelle, Illinois and died April 21, 1992 in Sycamore, Illinois.   He is buried at the Lawnridge Cemetery in Rochelle, Illinois.

Here is the WW II enlistment information for Ole and Mari Finnestad's great grandchild, Robert W Ludwig. Yesterday, I posted the WW II enlistment information for his brother, Charles. Robert enlisted May 16, 1942, probably in Rochelle, Illinois. I haven't been able to verify whether the Ludwig brothers had married and started their respective families following World War II, so at this point, their family tree appears at a dead end.
